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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified as a link farm, which is a common tactic for phishing and malware distribution. The heuristic 'SE_INVOICE_LURE' suggests the document's content is designed to trick the user into interacting with these links. The embedded URLs point to external PDF files, likely serving as a delivery mechanism for further malicious payloads.
