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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs, forming a link farm. The document body, disguised as IELTS reading material, is likely a lure to encourage users to click these links. The ClamAV detection and the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic strongly indicate a malicious intent, likely for phishing or driving traffic to malicious sites.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
