MITRE ATT&CK

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. While the document body is unreadable, the presence of numerous external links suggests an attempt to manipulate search engine results or redirect users to potentially malicious sites. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic further supports the malicious classification.

  • 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.
