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

The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to `https://ttraff.me/wix?keyword=transparent+hologram+sheet+sticker`. Additionally, it exhibits characteristics of a PDF link farm, embedding numerous external links, with `https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/ca32a8_f9068930b2774a249a92d2dfcd2d57e0.pdf` being the first identified. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'transparent hologram sheet sticker' and the malicious URL, suggesting a lure to entice users to click the link.

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.
