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

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which point to PDF files with numeric slugs, characteristic of SEO link farm techniques. One of the embedded URLs, http://sjhbfc.com/uploads/1/3/0/6/130604361/130604361.html#cpcu+online+study+guide, suggests a lure related to online study guides. No scripts were extracted from this sample. The primary attack vector appears to be directing the user to a malicious website via embedded links.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
