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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The ClamAV detection also flags this as a phishing-related threat. The document body, though heavily corrupted, contains text related to 'maths formula pdf download', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious link farm. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting users to a multitude of external PDF files hosted on various domains.
