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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which are dynamically generated with numeric slugs, indicating a link farm or SEO spam tactic. The document body is heavily obfuscated and appears to contain embedded URLs, including 'http://niralidevgan.com/uploads/1/3/1/4/131438379/131438379.html#basel+2+capital+accord+pdf'. This suggests the primary purpose is to redirect users to potentially malicious content hosted on these external domains.

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.
