MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is identified as a phishing lure due to its image-only nature and embedded clickable link. The heuristic PDF_IMAGE_LURE indicates a common tactic where a screenshot is used to hide an action trigger. The embedded URL, https://ketchas.ru/uplcv?utm_term=oxford+handbook+of+psychiatry+4th+edition+pdf+free, is the most prominent IOC, likely leading to a malicious site or download. ClamAV also flagged this as Pdf.Phishing.Trojan.
