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

The PDF document contains a large number of embedded external links pointing to various domains, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly indicates this malicious intent. The document body itself is heavily obfuscated and contains garbled text, but the presence of URLs like 'http://nicolitulk.com.au/uploads/1/3/0/5/130589312/130589312.html#biblia+vulgata+latina+espa%C3%B1ol+pdf' and numerous others suggests a lure to external resources.

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.
