T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF file contains a heuristic firing indicating it links to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text related to an 'application form' and includes numerous embedded URLs, some of which are hosted on Shopify. One of the primary URLs, 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=auckland+institute+of+studies+international+application+form', is flagged as malicious. The presence of a link farm and the invoice lure heuristic suggest a phishing or scam attempt designed to redirect the user to malicious content.
Heuristics 4
-
PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINKPDF 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_FARMSmall 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.
-
Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LUREDocument contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=auckland+institute+of+studies+international+application+form
