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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are hosted on similar domains and follow a numeric slug pattern, indicating a link farm or SEO abuse tactic. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text related to combining JPEGs into a PDF and mentions the wkhtmltopdf tool, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the embedded links. The primary heuristic identified a link farm with 28 external PDF links, strongly suggesting a malicious intent to redirect users to potentially harmful content.

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
