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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to similarly structured URLs on different domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a mechanism to distribute malicious content across various hosting sites. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests an attempt to disguise the malicious intent by appearing as educational worksheets. The primary attack pattern involves luring users to click on these external links, which likely host further malicious payloads or phishing content.

Heuristics 3

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
