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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which follow a pattern suggesting an SEO spam or phishing campaign. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external links, with 'legacycpadvisors.net' being a dominant host. The embedded URI 'http://shoreditchsocial.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130620581/130620581.html#interim+reporting+gaap' further supports the lure of accessing external content. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, limiting further analysis of the specific lure.

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.
