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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The document body mentions 'architecture form space and order book pdf download', suggesting a lure to entice users to click on the embedded links. The primary heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' indicates a mass of external PDF links, with 'gatesvillehsgamingcon.info' being a dominant host. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 3

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

  • 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.
