MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. This indicates a link farm or SEO spamming operation. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' confirms this, identifying a mass of external PDF links. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to URLs that are also present in the heuristics, reinforcing the link farm attack pattern. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
