MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, all hosted on the same domain. This technique is often used for SEO poisoning or to distribute malicious content indirectly. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious, and the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic confirms the presence of a link farm. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
