This PDF document is identified as a malicious lure, likely for phishing or malware distribution. The 'PDF_IMAGE_LURE' heuristic indicates it's an image-only document with a clickable action, designed to trick users. The presence of numerous external PDF links, identified by 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM', suggests a link farm used to distribute malicious content or for SEO manipulation. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious verdict. The document body contains obfuscated text and multiple URLs, including 'http://audreysandrasass.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130739839/130739839.html#joel+goldsmith+books+pdf', which is likely the primary malicious destination.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 1 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 20 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
  • 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.
