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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files on various domains, suggesting a link farm or SEO spam tactic. One of the embedded URLs, 'http://mta-sts.mail.dickersongreenseminary.org/uploads/1/3/0/6/130621123/130621123.html#angle+pair+relationships+worksheet+kuta+software+answers', is presented as a worksheet, likely to deceive users into clicking. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, limiting further analysis of intent beyond link distribution.

Heuristics 3

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
