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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a high volume of generated links, suggesting an attempt to manipulate search engine results or distribute malicious content through a large number of seemingly unrelated documents. One of the embedded URLs, http://ettilaa.com/uploads/1/3/1/8/131872048/131872048.html#aws+cli+aws+cloudformation+delete-+stack, is directly referenced in the document body, further supporting the idea of a lure to external content.

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

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
