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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body mentions a scholarship program, suggesting a lure to entice users to click the embedded links. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with 'zenithenergylimited.com.au' being a dominant host among them.
