The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to other PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body also contains similar URLs, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism designed to lead users to download more malicious content. No scripts were extracted, and the primary malicious activity appears to be the distribution of further malicious PDFs.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
