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

The PDF file contains numerous embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents hosted on various domains. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of these links, suggesting a coordinated effort to generate traffic or distribute malicious content. The document body itself is largely unreadable, but the presence of the URL 'http://74-123-76-25.mgwnet.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130814774/130814774.html#question+42+impossible+quiz' suggests a potential lure, possibly related to a quiz or phishing attempt.

  • 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.
