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

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded links to external websites, masquerading as information related to Ebola prevention and treatment. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with the dominant host being 'strathardhomeimprovements.com'. The primary embedded URL directs to 'http://74-123-72-117.mgwnet.com/uploads/1/3/0/4/130476760/130476760.html#ebola+prevention+and+treatment', suggesting a lure to a potentially malicious page.

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.
