The PDF document contains a large number of external links, a common technique for SEO poisoning or distributing malicious content. The document body presents a question about calorie counts, which is likely a lure to direct users to the embedded URLs. The primary heuristic indicates a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM', suggesting the document's purpose is to host a mass of external links. The IOCs are the numerous URLs extracted from the document.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
