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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. The document body mentions 'Pewdiepie minecraft world download', suggesting a lure to attract users to click on these links. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, likely intended to drive traffic or distribute further payloads. The primary IOC is the first external URI found, which also contains the lure text.

Heuristics 3

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
