MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM specifically identifies the mass linking behavior, with the dominant host being bocaijing.f18.ebkf.org. No scripts were extracted, but the document body is heavily corrupted and unreadable.
