MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains a URL that appears to be a lure for nutritional information. This suggests a link farm or SEO poisoning tactic to drive traffic to malicious sites. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness.
