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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are dynamically generated and point to unrelated domains, indicating a link farm or SEO spam tactic. One of the embedded URIs, 'http://uppercapedronemedia.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130874142/130874142.html#edible+packaging+pdf', suggests a lure related to 'edible packaging' to entice users to click. No scripts were extracted, but the extensive link farm points towards a malicious intent to drive traffic or host malicious content.
