MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file was identified as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, indicating a phishing or trojan payload. It contains a large number of external links, many pointing to S3 buckets and Weebly-hosted PDFs, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of 'Avtech dvr manual pdf' suggests a lure to disguise the malicious intent. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself is used to host numerous external URIs.
