The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for a "PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM", indicating it hosts a large number of external links. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text that appears to be a lure related to a "Ryzen 3 build guide". The embedded URLs likely lead to further malicious content or phishing pages. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

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.
