MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to external PDF documents. This behavior is indicative of a link farm, often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or malicious distribution intent. No scripts were extracted from this sample, and the document body text is largely unreadable due to encoding issues, but the heuristic firings and URL list are sufficient to assess the attack pattern.

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.
