MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the ClamAV detection and ML classifier. The document body text, while containing garbled content, mentions 'Present perfect simple i continuous exercises pdf', which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the links.
