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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to WordPress hosted PDFs, suggesting a link farm or SEO poisoning tactic. One prominent external URI, http://a1515416xstreamtravel.xsideas.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130620923/130620923.html#jiro+dreams+of+sushi+free+online+download, is identified as malicious. The document body text, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'free online download' and the authoring application 'wkhtmltopdf', indicating a lure to a potentially harmful resource.
