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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious websites. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness. The embedded links, such as http://revival-recovery.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130775974/130775974.html#ryobi+tek4+battery+charger, suggest a lure to a potentially compromised or malicious page.
