MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF document contains a mass external link farm, with numerous URLs pointing to seemingly unrelated PDF files. The document body text, while containing a mathematical formula, also includes obfuscated content and references to wkhtmltopdf, suggesting it is not a legitimate document. The primary attack pattern observed is the use of a deceptive lure to drive traffic to a network of external sites, likely for SEO manipulation or to host further malicious content.

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
