T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which are numerically and semantically similar, suggesting a link farm for SEO manipulation or phishing. The document body also contains a callback phishing lure, instructing the user to contact a number in a billing or refund context. No scripts were extracted from this sample, but the presence of numerous unknown-reputation URLs and the callback lure strongly indicate a malicious intent to deceive the user.

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.
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • 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.
