T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many with numeric slugs, characteristic of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine rankings or redirect users to malicious content. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains URLs that are also present in the heuristic findings, reinforcing the link farm attack pattern. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

  • 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.
