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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files with numeric or slug-based paths on various domains. This pattern is indicative of a link farm or SEO poisoning technique, likely intended to drive traffic or host malicious content. One specific URL, http://74-123-72-68.mgwnet.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130874522/130874522.html#breeze%27s+armor+fix, is directly embedded in the document body, suggesting a primary lure. No scripts were extracted, and the document body content is heavily obfuscated, limiting further analysis of the immediate payload.

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.
