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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links all point to the same domain, 'unieoooq.linkpc.net', and appear to be disguised as academic book titles. While the URLs themselves are currently marked as benign, the sheer volume and the nature of the heuristic firing strongly suggest a malicious intent, such as SEO manipulation or redirecting users to potentially harmful content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
