T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' confirms the presence of a mass external PDF link farm, with the dominant host being batonrougenaturalhairexpo.com.
