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

The PDF document contains numerous external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on similar domains, indicating a link farm. One of the embedded links, 'http://mymissblue.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130620937/130620937.html#barbie+girl+aqua+video+song', appears to be a lure to entice users to click. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly suggests this is a malicious tactic to distribute further malicious content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
