MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as a malicious PDF by ClamAV with a critical heuristic. It contains an embedded URL that uses a URL shortener, which is a common technique for obfuscating malicious destinations. The shortened URL redirects to 'bankaccess-excel.wholesaleresearchchem.com', a domain associated with potentially malicious activity. The PDF structure and embedded content suggest it's designed to lure users to this domain, likely for phishing or to download further malware.

  • 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.
