MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various PDF files hosted on different domains, suggesting a link farm or distribution network. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body contains garbled text and the title 'A textbook of optics s chand', which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious intent of distributing numerous external links.
