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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, a common technique for phishing or distributing further malware. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' and the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic strongly indicate a malicious intent to redirect users to potentially harmful sites. The embedded URLs are the primary indicators of compromise.
