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

The PDF file contains a link farm designed to host numerous other PDF files, a common technique for SEO poisoning and distributing malicious content. The primary lure appears to be a fake article about messenger apps, directing users to a URL that ultimately leads to a malicious PDF. The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic confirms the presence of a mass external PDF link farm, indicating a malicious intent to distribute further content or redirect users to potentially harmful 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.
