MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass external PDF link farm, with the first URL being http://www.gorillawalker.com/geology-geography-and-climate-of-north-dakota-study-students-today.pdf. This suggests a social engineering tactic to direct users to a large collection of potentially malicious or spam content. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
