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

The PDF file was detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0. Static analysis revealed a significant number of embedded external links, forming a link farm. These links, such as http://garryandjen.com/uploads/1/3/0/3/130313319/tepele-gawojepekuvuza-fibaram.pdf, are likely used to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body contains garbled text and references to 'Smallpdf Desktop' and 'Acorus calamus sanskrit name', which appear to be lures.

    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.
