MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains numerous links disguised as game hacks and generators for popular games like Robux and Coin Master. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of external links, and 'PDF_GAME_HACK_REDIRECT_LURE' confirms the deceptive nature of these links. The primary URL, http://netcdn.co/app/431946152/how-to-get-free-robux-on-mobile-game-hack, is likely a gateway to malicious content or a phishing site. No scripts were extracted, but the document's structure and content strongly suggest a phishing or scam attempt.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • PDF links to a 'free generator / game hack' redirector high PDF_GAME_HACK_REDIRECT_LURE
    PDF's clickable action targets a redirector of the form /app/<id>/<slug>-game-hack — the landing-page shape of a large SEO 'free spins / generator / game hack' lure family that funnels victims through rotating disposable hosts to a malware/scam payload. The multi-link variants also trip ML/link-farm rules; this catches the single-link variants that otherwise score clean.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
