T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as a malicious PDF by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7257292-0. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, suggesting it is designed to hide its malicious intent. The presence of embedded font streams is common in PDFs, but in this context, it may be used to package or obfuscate exploit code.
