MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a common technique for SEO poisoning and phishing. The embedded document body text, while containing seemingly innocuous information about pregnancy, also includes URLs that are part of this link farm. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' strongly suggests a phishing or traffic redirection intent. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' confirms the presence of numerous external links, indicating a likely attempt to drive traffic to malicious or deceptive content.

  • 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.
  • 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.
