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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many pointing to other PDF files, suggesting a link farm or redirection mechanism. One of the embedded URLs, 'http://sarahsimmonssings.com/uploads/1/3/0/8/130814718/130814718.html#niveles+de+pensamiento+de+norman+webb+verbos', appears to be a lure. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external PDF links, with 'lftgentiles.org' being a dominant host, suggesting a coordinated effort to distribute malicious content or traffic. The presence of a 'SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON' heuristic further supports the lure-based attack pattern.

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.
