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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a common tactic for SEO spam or phishing campaigns. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text suggesting a lure for free piano sheet music. The primary URL, http://theothertd.com/uploads/1/3/1/4/131437554/131437554.html#idontwannabeyouanymore+piano+sheet+free, is likely the initial landing page for this campaign. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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
    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.
