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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various domains, many of which appear to be part of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or distribute further malicious content. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was largely unreadable, but the presence of numerous external links is a strong indicator of malicious intent.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
