MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, identified as a link farm. The document body attempts to lure users by presenting itself as IELTS preparation material, but the primary function appears to be redirecting users to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is consistent with phishing or malware distribution campaigns.
