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

The PDF contains a large number of external links to various domains, many of which appear to be part of a link farm designed for SEO manipulation. The primary heuristic indicates a PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, suggesting the document's purpose is to host these links. The embedded URLs point to PDF files on these domains, likely serving as a lure or redirect mechanism. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily corrupted, making it difficult to ascertain the exact lure.

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.
