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

The PDF file contains numerous external links, a common tactic for SEO poisoning or phishing lures. The document body includes a title related to a free game download, which is likely a pretext to drive traffic to the malicious URLs. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly indicates a link farm strategy, suggesting the primary goal is to redirect users to potentially malicious content hosted on domains like teamgls.com and irishknucklesmma.com.

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.
