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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files with numeric slugs. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO poisoning attack, designed to manipulate search engine rankings. The document body itself contains a title related to matrix inversion, which is likely a lure to attract clicks to these external resources. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting the ability to determine further malicious actions.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
