MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as flagged by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly support a malicious classification. The embedded URLs are the primary IOCs, suggesting a phishing or content distribution attack.
