MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF documents hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm used to artificially inflate search engine rankings or to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or traffic redirection motive. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
