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

The PDF file is identified as malicious by an ML classifier. It contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The document body presents a lure of a GED reading practice test in Spanish, which is likely a pretext to encourage users to click on the embedded links. The primary attack pattern involves a link farm designed to lead users to potentially harmful content hosted on numerous domains.
