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

The PDF document contains a link farm pointing to multiple external PDF files, a common tactic for SEO poisoning and phishing. The document body text, though partially obfuscated, mentions 'Core java books for beginners pdf' as a lure. The heuristic 'SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE' further indicates a scam, likely to trick users into downloading malicious content. The embedded URLs are the primary IOCs, directing users to potentially malicious PDFs.
