MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or redirection scheme designed to distribute malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or traffic redirection intent. The embedded URLs are the primary IOCs for this attack.
