MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, suggesting a link farm or phishing lure. The document body, though partially corrupted, mentions 'polytechnic lecturer notification 2018 pdf', indicating a pretext for the embedded links. ClamAV also detected this as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall, further supporting the phishing and potential malware delivery intent.
