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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning to drive traffic to malicious sites. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains a URL that appears to be a lure for a guitar tablature PDF. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the heuristic firings confirm the presence of a link farm designed to redirect users.
