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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a technique commonly used to distribute malicious content or conduct phishing attacks. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically identifies this behavior, pointing to multiple external PDF files. The ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall' further supports the malicious intent. The embedded URLs are the primary indicators of compromise, likely leading to further stages of an attack.

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.
