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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, with a heuristic identifying it as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'hyperbole worksheets middle school', suggesting a lure. The primary intent appears to be directing users to potentially malicious external websites hosted on domains like puckcancer.com and insearchofmaud.com.

Heuristics 3

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
