T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, as indicated by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The ClamAV detection also flags this as phishing malware. The document body contains text related to 'Solving systems of equations with matrices worksheet answers' which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious intent of linking to numerous other PDF files hosted on various domains.
