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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are structured in a way that suggests a link farm for SEO purposes. One of the embedded URIs, http://qggp4l.bdgct.com/uploads/1/3/1/1/131163507/131163507.html#chernobyl+zone+arma+3, is directly referenced in the document body. The heuristic 'SE_URGENCY_LURE' indicates the document likely contains language designed to prompt immediate action from the user. The combination of these factors strongly suggests a phishing or malicious redirection attempt.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Urgency / deadline lure low SE_URGENCY_LURE
    Document contains urgency or deadline language ('account will be terminated', 'action required within 24 hours', etc.) — useful context, but low-signal without other findings
  • 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.
