MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to a network of potentially malicious PDF documents hosted on these domains, likely as a lure or to distribute further malware.
