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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically or generically named, characteristic of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content. The document body, though heavily corrupted, contains text related to tax reporting and the wkhtmltopdf application, suggesting a lure to trick users into visiting these suspicious URLs. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness.
