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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many pointing to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. The document body, though partially corrupted, includes text related to a 'Customs declaration form ghana', likely a lure to encourage users to click on the embedded links. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a high volume of external links, with 'artshotz.com' being a dominant host, suggesting these links are intended to lead users to malicious content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • 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.
