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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. One specific link, http://trsthompsonrailservices.com/uploads/1/3/0/3/130379246/130379246.html#connectify+license+key, is also present in the document body, suggesting a potential lure for users. The presence of numerous links hosted on various domains indicates a likely attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content through a link farm strategy.

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.
