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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external URLs, many of which point to domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM firing indicates that the PDF is designed to generate traffic to these external sites. The document body contains a mix of seemingly legitimate text and the embedded URLs, suggesting a lure to click on these links.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
