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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The primary URL found in the document body, http://thebusinesstip.com/uploads/1/3/1/3/131383562/131383562.html#conversion+mililitros+a+centimetros+cubicos, is part of this link farm. This suggests a tactic to manipulate search engine results or to distribute malicious content through a network of seemingly unrelated websites.
