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

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to a heuristic detecting a large farm of external links. These links, such as http://lq.undesirable.us/uploads/1/3/0/8/130874666/130874666.html#a.+jan+marcussen and http://hollyebrown.com/uploads/1/3/0/2/130287302/6394487.pdf, are likely designed to lead users to phishing sites or download further malicious content. The document body itself contains metadata and a truncated version of these links, reinforcing the malicious intent.

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.
