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

The PDF document was identified as malicious due to a high density of external links, a technique commonly used in SEO poisoning or link farm attacks. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with the primary domain being 'swilliamson.ca'. The embedded URL 'http://thebusinesstip.com/uploads/1/3/0/4/130483286/130483286.html#%25D0%25BC%25D1%2583%25D0%25B4%25D1%2580%25D1%258B%25D0%25B5+%25D1%2581%25D0%25BB%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B0+%25D1%2581%25D1%2583%25D0%25BB%25D1%2582%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B0+%25D1%2581%25D1%2583%25D0%25BB%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B9%25D0%25BC%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD%25D0%25B0+%25D1%2581%25D1%258B%25D0%25BD%25D1%2583' also points to a potentially malicious resource.

  • 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.
