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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files on unrelated domains. This suggests a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. One of the embedded URLs is http://adsl-63-204-18-52.benefitplans.org/uploads/1/3/0/6/130605339/130605339.html#convair+air+conditioner, which may be a lure or a redirect to malicious content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • 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.
