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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links, such as http://abbepsychservices.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130739182/130739182.html#etapas+de+la+educacion+en+mexico and http://madewithheart.org/uploads/1/3/1/3/131379353/vativ.pdf, are likely intended to manipulate search engine results or redirect users to malicious content. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, but the link farm is a strong indicator of malicious intent.

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.
