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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically or generically named PDFs hosted on various domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO scam designed to drive traffic to potentially malicious websites. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains a reference to 'Parametric equations to rectangular equation', which appears to be a lure to attract clicks to the embedded URLs.
