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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious content. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external PDF link farm, with the dominant host being 'davesharpe.blog'. The embedded URI 'http://googleroads.com/uploads/1/3/0/3/130323187/130323187.html#the+survival+handbook+ray+mears' and numerous other PDF links suggest a coordinated effort to redirect users to potentially harmful sites.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
