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

The PDF file contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. These links point to various domains, suggesting a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. The document body contains text related to 'Washington deer hunting guides' and metadata indicating it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, which could be used to disguise the malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to a large collection of external PDFs, potentially to host malicious content or for SEO poisoning.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
