T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It employs an image-only lure, a common tactic for phishing or malware distribution, prompting the user to click an embedded URI. The heuristic 'PDF_IMAGE_LURE' specifically indicates this phishing shape, and the embedded URL points to a suspicious domain.
