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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. The document body, though truncated, includes text related to 'academic expectations' and 'stress inventory', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The primary heuristic indicates a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' with 30 external links, suggesting a tactic to distribute malicious content or phish for credentials through a network of seemingly unrelated websites.

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.
