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

The PDF document was flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV and an ML classifier, indicating malicious intent. The critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic fired, revealing a large number of embedded external links, with the primary domain being gotravelethiopia.com. The document body, though partially corrupted, also contains several of these URLs. This suggests the PDF is designed as a lure to redirect users to potentially harmful content.
