MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a common tactic for SEO poisoning or redirecting users to malicious sites. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with the dominant host being 'theangeliquediedrick.com'. The document body text, though partially corrupted, includes references to 'Imagen de ventana de word' and the wkhtmltopdf generator, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The presence of multiple unknown URLs points towards a distribution or phishing campaign.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
