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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to various domains, indicative of a link farm. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body, though partially obfuscated, contains text related to forex trading and includes many of the same URLs found in the link farm. The primary attack pattern appears to be directing users to external sites, potentially for SEO manipulation or to serve further malicious content.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
