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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links to other PDF files hosted across various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious, supporting the observed link farming technique. No scripts were extracted, and the document body content is largely unreadable, making it difficult to determine a more specific attack pattern beyond link distribution.

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.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
