MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO spam or to redirect users to malicious sites. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' specifically flags this behavior, indicating a potential attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute further malware. The document body text is largely unreadable, but the presence of the URL 'http://uxd66r.bdgct.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130814187/130814187.html#total+plate+count+method+usp' suggests a possible lure related to a specific method or process.

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.
