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

The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, indicating it is part of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results. The document body mentions 'Fiora aram guide', which is likely a lure to entice users to click on the numerous embedded external links. These links predominantly point to other PDF files hosted on various domains, suggesting a coordinated effort to distribute content or traffic.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
