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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. The embedded document body text, though heavily obfuscated, contains a URL that is also present in the list of external links. This suggests the primary purpose of the PDF is to redirect users to a network of potentially malicious websites.
