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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files on various domains, suggesting a link farm or SEO poisoning tactic. One of the embedded URIs, 'http://transitioninghomeinc.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130814341/130814341.html#cbr+app+android', is presented as a 'cbr app android' download, indicating a lure for users. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' further suggests that the document may be part of a multi-stage attack involving password-protected archives.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • 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.
