MITRE ATT&CK
T1598 Gathering Victim Identity Information T1204 Malicious Link

The PDF document contains a significant number of external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains, indicative of a link farm or content distribution network. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically flags this behavior, suggesting an attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute content across multiple sites. The embedded URL in the document body, 'http://vertacc.ca/uploads/1/3/0/6/130639946/130639946.html#como+programar+un+control+rca+a+una+tv+lg', is one of many such links, pointing towards a coordinated effort to redirect users. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
