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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files on different domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or SEO manipulation tactic. The primary URL found in the document body is http://bkjayinvestments.com/uploads/1/3/1/3/131380251/131380251.html#hunter+s+star+quilt+pattern, which likely serves as a lure to engage the user. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' strongly suggests this is not benign.

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.
