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

The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious and contains a large number of embedded external links, indicating a link farm or SEO abuse. The primary heuristic identified a 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' with 32 external links, many of which are to PDFs hosted on 'gorillawalker.com'. While no scripts were extracted, the sheer volume and nature of the embedded links suggest a malicious intent to manipulate search engine rankings or distribute further malicious content.

Heuristics 2

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
