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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This technique is often used for SEO poisoning to drive traffic to malicious sites or to distribute malware. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the PDF structure suggests a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results.
