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

The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious. A critical heuristic identified a large number of external links to PDF files hosted on 'gorillawalker.com', suggesting a link farm or content distribution tactic. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume of outbound links points towards a non-standard, potentially malicious use of the PDF document.

Heuristics 2

  • 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
    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.
