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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to SEO-optimized PDF files hosted on various domains. One of the embedded URIs, 'http://helgajoseps.com/uploads/1/3/0/4/130490117/130490117.html#hospital+maintenance+department+manual', suggests a lure to trick users into visiting a malicious website. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to a 'Hospital maintenance department manual' and metadata indicating it was generated by wkhtmltopdf.
