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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to domains associated with SEO spam or link farms. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'New holland 185 manure spreader specifications' and references wkhtmltopdf, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the links. The primary attack pattern involves directing users to a network of potentially malicious or spam-related websites.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
