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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'Cisco ccdp arch simplified pdf' and URLs that appear to be part of a link farm designed to attract search engine traffic. This suggests a social engineering tactic to drive users to potentially malicious content hosted on these external sites.
