MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file is disguised as a document about computer networks but contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links, such as http://bkroystonpublishingstore.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130739662/130739662.html#computer+networks+basics+pdf, likely serve to redirect users to malicious sites, a common tactic for distributing malware or conducting phishing attacks. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of direct execution capabilities.

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.
