MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDFs advertising cracked software, such as Adobe Photoshop. One of the embedded URIs, http://thedirsite.com/clearingtheairscotland.airscrew/binders?dismally=QWRvYmUgUGhvdG9zaG9wIDIwMjIgKFZlcnNpb24gMjMuMC4yKQQWR.maserati&partum=ZG93bmxvYWR8WXAwT1RVeFlueDhNVFkxTmprNE1UVXdOSHg4TWpVNE4zeDhLRTBwSUVobGNtOXJkU0JiUm1GemRDQkhSVTVk, appears to be a download lure. The presence of numerous links to cracked software suggests a phishing or scam attempt, likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • PDF link farm advertises cracked/pirated software medium PDF_CRACKED_SOFTWARE_LURE
    PDF contains many clickable links whose targets use cracked-software, keygen, serial-key, or warez vocabulary. These are SEO-spam lure documents that rank for software-piracy searches and route users to fake 'crack' download pages distributing potentially-unwanted programs, adware, or droppers. The PDF itself carries no exploit — the risk is the linked destinations.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
