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

The PDF document contains a mass external link farm, with multiple URLs pointing to PDF files hosted on various domains. The document body, though partially corrupted, includes a reference to 'Copper mountain snow report 10 day forecast', suggesting a lure to entice users to click on the embedded links. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a large number of external links, likely intended to redirect users to malicious content or to manipulate search engine results.

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.
