MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, specifically pointing to 'https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=japanese+candlestick+charting+techniques+youtube'. This URL is presented within the document body, disguised as a link related to charting techniques. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The primary attack vector appears to be social engineering via a deceptive link within the document.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK

  • 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.
