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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, many of which point to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to obscure malicious redirects. One critical heuristic firing indicates a direct link to known malicious redirector infrastructure at 'https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=cuales+son+los+fenomenos+macroeconomicos+y+sus+variables+de+interes'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL, suggesting it is the primary lure. The file is likely intended to trick users into visiting the malicious URL, potentially leading to further malware delivery or phishing.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • 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.
  • 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.
