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

The PDF contains a large number of external links to domains that appear to be part of a link farm, a common tactic for SEO manipulation or distributing malicious content. The primary heuristic identified a "PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM" with 18 external links, and another heuristic flagged an external URI pointing to `http://southernprovision.store/uploads/1/3/0/8/130873951/130873951.html#earfcn+bofetada+de+c%C3%A1lculo+de+calcul`. No scripts were extracted, but the sheer volume of outbound links suggests a malicious intent to redirect users to potentially harmful sites.

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.
