MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used to inflate search engine rankings or redirect users to malicious sites. The document body and heuristic firings indicate an advance-fee scam lure, suggesting the user is being tricked into believing they have won a prize or are due a large sum of money. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall' further supports the malicious nature of the file.
