MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to various PDF files on different domains. This is indicative of a link farm used to distribute malicious content or conduct phishing operations. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports the phishing classification. The embedded URLs are the primary IOCs for this attack.
