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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm, often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious content. The primary heuristic identified a link farm with 10 external PDF links, and another heuristic noted an external URI pointing to benzunhinged.net. The document body contains garbled text but includes the URL http://benzunhinged.net/uploads/1/3/1/3/131384136/131384136.html#autodesk+maya+user+guide, suggesting a potential lure related to software documentation.

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.
