MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files on various domains, indicating a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. One of the embedded URLs, http://stratford-hvac.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130776676/130776676.html#2000+honda+trx450r+oil+capacity, is directly associated with the document's content. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly suggests this is not a legitimate document but rather a mechanism to distribute links.

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.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
