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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results or to host a large collection of potentially malicious files. The primary URL found in the document body, 'http://michaelhiggins.ie/uploads/1/3/0/5/130590481/130590481.html#powerflex+40+manual+pdf+download', suggests a lure related to technical documentation, which is a common tactic for phishing or malware distribution.

Heuristics 3

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
