MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Link

The PDF file was detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0. Static analysis revealed a large number of embedded external links, indicative of a link farm designed for SEO poisoning or to direct users to malicious sites. The document body contains text related to plant cells, which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the PDF.

Heuristics 3

    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.
