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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links to various domains, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute further malicious content. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly indicates this behavior. The document body itself is heavily obfuscated and contains what appears to be junk data mixed with URLs, making it difficult to ascertain a specific lure. No scripts were extracted from this sample. The primary attack pattern observed is the distribution of a large number of links to potentially malicious or SEO-farmed content.

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.
  • 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.
