T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, and exhibits characteristics of a phishing lure due to its image-heavy nature and embedded clickable URI. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of external URIs suggests an attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site or download further content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.
