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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are SEO-optimized and point to what appears to be a link farm. The document body text and one of the extracted URLs suggest a lure for downloading 'Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 free download full version for Windows 7'. This indicates a social engineering tactic to trick users into visiting malicious sites or downloading malware. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • 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.
