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

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded URLs, constituting a link farm. These URLs point to various PDF files hosted on the 'loaminoo.linkpc.net' domain. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a high volume of such links, suggesting a tactic to increase search engine visibility or distribute content. While the content itself appears to be book-related, the sheer volume and dynamic DNS hosting raise suspicion of a malicious distribution or redirection scheme.

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.
