T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to suspicious domains. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external PDF link farm, suggesting a malicious intent to distribute or redirect users. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body text appears to be metadata and not user-facing content, further supporting that the primary malicious function is within the embedded links.
