MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains numerous external links, many of which point to redirectors designed to obscure the final destination. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of external links, and 'PDF_SEO_UTM_REDIRECTOR_LINK' specifically flags a lure for free downloads via an SEO redirector. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support its malicious nature, identifying it as a phishing trojan.

  • 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.
  • Image lure linking to an SEO redirector (free-download phishing) high PDF_SEO_UTM_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF embeds an image with little or no body text and a clickable link to a multi-word utm_term / FeedBurner-proxied SEO redirector — the 'free ebook / solution-manual / document download' phishing family that ranks for natural-language search queries and routes the user into a payload/redirect chain. The PDF carries no exploit; the risk is the linked destination. Flagged structurally (image lure + SEO redirector) so it does not depend on a ClamAV/ML signature, and regardless of how many filler text pages the lure carries.
