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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are structured as SEO-optimized links to PDF files. One of the embedded links, http://driftwoodshoresdesigns.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130775503/130775503.html#chemistry+a+molecular+approach+4th+edition+pdf+download, suggests a lure for downloading a specific book. The presence of numerous similar links indicates a link farm or SEO spamming technique to drive traffic to potentially malicious content.

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.
