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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a common technique for SEO poisoning or phishing campaigns. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of external links, with 'lacouturedelizabeth.com' being a dominant host. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text suggesting it is a 'trophy guide', which serves as a lure. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted, and the primary malicious activity appears to be directing users to external, potentially malicious, URLs.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
