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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded external links, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious sites. The document body text and extracted URLs suggest a lure related to 'The Haunting of Hill House' PDF, directing users to potentially malicious domains like gypsyjewelsff5.com and bachelorettenash.com. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure itself is used to host and distribute links.

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.
