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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are hosted on domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The document body text, though partially obfuscated, mentions 'mail merge steps in ms word 2010 pdf', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, likely for SEO manipulation or to host further malicious content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
