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

This PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious websites. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body, though containing garbled text, includes a URL that appears to be a lure for a programming tutorial, likely a pretext to disguise the malicious intent of the embedded links. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging these links to direct users to potentially harmful content.
