The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to external PDF files. While the ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, the specific intent beyond link farming is unclear due to the lack of executable scripts or exploitable content within the PDF body itself. The primary IOCs are the numerous URLs hosted on loaminoo.linkpc.net.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
