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 similarly structured URLs on different domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO spam campaign, designed to drive traffic to potentially malicious sites. The document body mentions 'Nefropatia diabetica 2017', suggesting a lure related to medical conditions to entice clicks. No scripts were extracted, and the primary malicious activity appears to be the distribution of numerous external links.

Heuristics 3

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