MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or SEO poisoning attack, designed to drive traffic to malicious content. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall' further supports this assessment. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
