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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious content. The 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic firing indicates a mass of external links, with the primary domain being cairobritishcollege.com. The document body contains text related to 'Tektronix oscilloscope 475 manual', which appears to be a lure to attract clicks on the embedded links. No scripts were extracted, and the primary threat appears to be the redirection to potentially malicious external sites.

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.
