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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links pointing to external PDF files hosted on the domain 'loaminoo.linkpc.net'. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content. While the document body is unreadable, the heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly suggests the intent is to manipulate search engine results or to direct users to potentially harmful resources. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
