MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded URLs disguised as content related to binary options trading. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external link farm, suggesting the primary purpose is to redirect users to potentially malicious websites. No scripts were extracted, but the embedded URLs are the main indicators of malicious intent.

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.
