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

The PDF document was flagged by a machine learning classifier with high confidence. It contains a large number of external links, many of which point to numeric slugs on various domains, indicating a link farm or SEO abuse tactic. One of the primary URLs extracted is http://cornish.business-facebook-covid19.com/uploads/1/3/1/3/131398138/131398138.html#%25D9%2585%25D8%25A7+%25D9%2587%25D9%2588+%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D8%25AA%25D9%258A%25D8%25B3%25D9%258A%25D8%25B1+%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D9%2585%25D8%25B4%25D8%25AA%25D8%25B1%25D9%2583. This pattern suggests the document is designed to lure users to external sites, likely for malicious purposes such as phishing or malware delivery.

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.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
