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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to WordPress hosted PDF files with numeric slugs. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO abuse. One of the embedded URIs, http://fancythefoodtrailer.com/uploads/1/3/1/4/131407521/131407521.html#zoids+eng+sub, is likely the intended destination for the user. The primary goal appears to be directing traffic to these external sites, potentially for advertising revenue or to host further malicious 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
    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.
