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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, flagged as a link farm. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains URLs that are also present in the heuristic findings. The primary attack pattern appears to be directing users to a network of external sites, likely for SEO spam or to host further malicious content.
