T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, directing users to `https://ttraff.ru/wb?keyword=csec%20human%20and%20social%20biology%20past%20papers%20pdf`. It also contains a link farm heuristic, with many links pointing to `cdn.shopify.com` and one to `http://lifov.microbesbymarco.com/uploads/1/3/2/8/132816066/3feecf4dd13f68.pdf`. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains these URLs, suggesting a lure to academic content to mask malicious redirection.
Heuristics 3
-
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.
-
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/wb?keyword=csec%20human%20and%20social%20biology%20past%20papers%20pdf
