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

The PDF document contains numerous external links, a common tactic for distributing malicious content or conducting phishing operations. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to a 'Diabetic retinopathy study report'. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of generated links, reinforcing the malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting the user to external URLs hosted on domains like '7383qipaiyouxi.br3h.com' and 'lightjab.net'.

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.
  • 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.
