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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically or generically named, suggesting a link farm or SEO spam operation. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text related to 'Groin hernia ultrasound protocol' and metadata indicating it was generated by wkhtmltopdf, further supporting the lure of a technical document to mask malicious redirection. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external PDF links, with 'getassuredins.com' being a dominant host. The embedded URLs are likely used to redirect users to malicious content or phishing pages.

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.
