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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on similar domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results and lure unsuspecting users to potentially malicious content. The presence of URLs like 'http://exactransreportingsvcsinc.com/uploads/1/3/1/0/131071073/131071073.html#scrap+mechanic+ps4+download' suggests a lure for game-related downloads, which is a common tactic for distributing malware.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
