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

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious. Static analysis revealed a large number of embedded external links, characteristic of a link farm designed to distribute malicious content or phish users. The primary heuristic identified 32 such links, with the first being http://www.gorillawalker.com/world-war-i-major-u-s-historical-wars.pdf. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine a more specific attack pattern beyond link distribution.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
