T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. While the specific URLs appear to point to benign book titles, the sheer volume and the use of a dynamic DNS hostname (linkpc.net) suggest a malicious intent, possibly for SEO manipulation or to distribute further malware. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic also strongly indicates maliciousness. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
