MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains, indicating a link farm or distribution network. ClamAV detected this as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0', and a machine learning classifier assigned a high probability of maliciousness. The embedded document body text, though heavily obfuscated, appears to be a lure related to 'Abraham maslow self esteem theory'.
