MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 User Execution: Malicious Link

This PDF document contains a large number of external links, many pointing to PDF files with numeric slugs, indicative of a link farm or SEO abuse. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains a reference to 'Gta 5 phone cheat codes xbox 1' and a URL that also contains this phrase, suggesting a lure. The 'SE_CALLBACK_LURE' heuristic firing confirms the presence of a callback phishing or tech-support scam pattern, likely intended to trick the user into calling a fraudulent number. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • 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.
