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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a common technique for SEO spam or directing users to malicious sites. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests an educational theme ('Ejercicios de multiplicacion algebraica de monomios') which is likely a lure. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly indicates a link farm strategy, aiming to manipulate search engine rankings or distribute traffic to potentially harmful content. No scripts were extracted, but the numerous embedded URLs are the primary indicators of malicious intent.

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.
