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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which appear to be part of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results. The document body contains a seemingly innocuous title 'Jersey mike's lettuce wrap sub' which is likely a lure. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, and the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic confirms the presence of a mass external link farm.
