MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious. Static analysis revealed a large number of embedded external links, characteristic of a link farm or SEO poisoning attack. The primary heuristic identified a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' with 23 external links, predominantly hosted on 'loaminoo.linkpc.net'. While the document body was unreadable, the presence of numerous links suggests an attempt to lure users to potentially malicious websites.

  • 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.
