MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1566.002 Spearphishing Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links to other PDF files hosted on various domains, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to distribute further malicious content. The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic confirms the suspicious linking behavior. No scripts were extracted, but the extensive link farm suggests a delivery mechanism for other threats.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
