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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are SEO-optimized and point to other PDF files. This suggests a link farm or SEO poisoning attack designed to drive traffic to potentially malicious content. The primary URL, http://74-123-78-122.mgwnet.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130776822/130776822.html#sacrt+light+rail+fare, is likely the initial lure.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
