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

The PDF document contains a significant number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The document body text, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to PDF manipulation. The primary URL, http://stratford-hvac.com/uploads/1/3/0/5/130551106/130551106.html#add+text+to+pdf+windows, reinforces this theme. The extensive link farm indicates a likely attempt to distribute malicious content or conduct phishing operations.

  • 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.
