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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique commonly used for phishing or distributing further malware. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior, pointing to domains like spookfest.net. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily truncated, limiting further analysis of the specific lure.

Heuristics 3
