MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link pointing to 'https://ggtraff.ru/aws?keyword=nrmp+rank+lists+due'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL. The embedded link in the PDF document's annotations further reinforces the malicious intent by listing multiple suspicious URLs, including the primary redirector. This suggests the file is designed to lure users to malicious infrastructure.

  • 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.
