T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF is identified as a phishing lure due to its image-heavy nature and embedded action trigger. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. While no scripts were directly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded URLs suggest it's designed to redirect users to malicious sites for phishing or malware distribution.
