  • Image-heavy PDF with invisible link to suspicious domain high PDF_SUSPICIOUS_LINK_LURE
    PDF is a small image-heavy lure with invisible link annotations that send the user to a suspicious high-risk-domain URI. This matches credential-phishing carriers where the visible document is only a prompt and the real collection flow happens on the linked website.
  • Small PDF is a non-clustered link farm on disposable hosting medium PDF_SEO_DISPOSABLE_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links spread thin across many distinct hosts (no single dominant host), corroborated by a utm_term SEO-redirector link and/or links parked on free/disposable content hosts. This is the 'free document/template' SEO phishing PDF family, which ranks for search queries and routes users into payload/redirect chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
