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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various PDF documents hosted on the 'loaminoo.linkpc.net' domain. While the individual linked PDFs are marked as benign, the sheer volume and nature of the links suggest a tactic to drive traffic to potentially malicious or deceptive content. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
