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

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body, while containing some garbled text, includes the URL http://cryptoassets.xyz/uploads/1/3/0/5/130539309/130539309.html#linea+del+tiempo+delos+avances+cientificos+de+la+biologia, which is part of a link farm. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM specifically identifies this pattern of mass external PDF links, indicating a likely attempt to drive traffic to compromised or malicious domains.

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.
