MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, suggesting a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body contains garbled text and what appears to be metadata, but the primary malicious activity is the distribution of numerous URLs pointing to other PDF files, likely to distribute malware or engage in phishing.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
