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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a link farm, suggesting these URLs are used to artificially boost search engine rankings or to host malicious content. The presence of the URL 'http://hotelvic-phase2-ko.devsite-1.com/uploads/1/3/0/5/130588286/130588286.html#estudio+de+casos+y+controles' in the document body further supports this, as it appears to be a lure. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
