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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to 'Disciplinary forms template'. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a high volume of external links, pointing towards a malicious intent to drive traffic to potentially compromised or malicious domains.

Heuristics 3

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