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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various domains, many of which appear to be part of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or distribute further malicious content. The document body itself contains garbled text but includes the URL http://schaarzoekthaar.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130604446/130604446.html#ecuaciones+equilibrio+estatico, which is also listed as an external URI. No scripts were extracted, and the primary malicious activity appears to be the distribution of these numerous links.

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.
