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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically or generically named and point to PDF files, indicating a link farm or SEO spam tactic. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure of an 'Admiral washing machine user guide'. The primary heuristic identified a link farm with 30 external PDF links, predominantly hosted on 'webmail.tedlucas.net'. This suggests the document's purpose is to drive traffic to these external sites, potentially for malicious redirection or further exploitation.

Heuristics 3

  • 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
  • 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.
