T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, disguised with text suggesting a 'Matlab installation guide pdf'. This link, 'https://ttraff.cc/pify?keyword=matlab+installation+guide+pdf', is designed to lead users to malicious infrastructure. Additionally, the PDF exhibits characteristics of a link farm, with numerous external links, and the 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' heuristic suggests it may be part of a multi-stage attack involving password-protected archives.
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.
-
Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LUREDocument gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
-
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.cc/pify?keyword=matlab+installation+guide+pdf
