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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files with numeric slugs, indicative of a link farm or SEO spam tactic. The document body also contains a URL that appears to be a lure for a free album download. The primary heuristic identified a "PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM" which suggests the document is part of a larger network designed to artificially inflate search engine rankings or distribute malicious content. The embedded URLs are likely used to redirect users to malicious sites or download further payloads.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
