MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains numerous embedded URLs and a prominent external URI pointing to a site offering a 'hack' for the game Coin Master. The document body, though partially garbled, suggests a lure for game cheats or hacks, aligning with social engineering tactics. The presence of a PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic indicates a large number of links, likely for SEO manipulation or to distribute malicious content, and the ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted, but the overall structure and embedded links suggest a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
