T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV with 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject', indicating a suspicious structure. Furthermore, a PDF_EMBEDDED heuristic indicates the presence of an embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin'. This suggests the document is designed to lure the user into opening or interacting with the embedded artifact, which is likely a malicious payload.
