MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic indicates the presence of a large number of external links within the document, suggesting a malicious intent related to link farming or content distribution. The ML classifier also flagged the PDF as malicious with high confidence. No scripts were extracted, and the document body contained mostly obfuscated or binary data, making it difficult to ascertain the exact user-facing lure. The primary IOCs are the numerous URLs hosted on www.gorillawalker.com.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
