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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various domains, many of which appear to be part of a link farm. The embedded document body text, though heavily obfuscated, contains a URL that matches one of the extracted external links. This suggests the primary purpose is to redirect users to a network of potentially malicious or SEO-abused sites.
