MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document was identified as malicious due to a critical heuristic firing for a PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM. This indicates the presence of numerous external links within the document. While the document body is heavily obfuscated, the extracted URLs suggest a link farm designed to redirect users to various content, likely malicious. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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
    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.
