T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. While many of the linked URLs were classified as benign, the sheer volume and the nature of the heuristic suggest a malicious intent, possibly for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
