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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded external links, identified as a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic. These links point to various domains, all structured similarly with numeric slugs and 'uploads' directories, suggesting a coordinated effort to create SEO-optimized content. The primary purpose appears to be redirecting users to these link farms, likely for malicious advertising or traffic generation schemes. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated.

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.
