MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains embedded URLs and a document body that promotes 'free coins' and 'game hacks', strongly suggesting a phishing or scam lure. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates the presence of numerous external links, with one pointing to a suspicious URL that likely hosts a malicious payload. The ML classifier also flagged the PDF as malicious. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the nature of the content and the external URL suggest an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
