MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files with numeric slugs, indicating a link farm or SEO abuse tactic. One of the embedded URLs, http://silvergatomon.net/uploads/1/3/0/2/130274378/130274378.html#frozen+flower+game, suggests a lure related to a game. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, limiting further analysis of the exact payload or intent beyond the link farming and lure. The primary attack pattern observed is the use of a PDF document to host a link farm, likely to direct users to malicious content or phishing sites.

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.
