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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, identified as a link farm. This is a common technique used in phishing and SEO poisoning attacks to drive traffic to malicious sites or host further malware. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports the phishing classification. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
