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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links all point to the same dominant host, 'ieuicufioao.myhome.cx', and appear to be disguised as book titles. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. The primary attack pattern involves tricking the user into clicking these links, which likely leads to the download of further malicious content or redirects to phishing sites.

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
