MITRE ATT&CK

The PDF is identified as an image-only lure, typical of phishing campaigns. It contains numerous external links, with the primary one pointing to a file named 'assassin's creed 4 trainer 1.07', suggesting a lure for game-related cheats or cracks. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the primary URL and other similar URLs, reinforcing the phishing or malware distribution intent.

Heuristics 4

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small 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.
  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 1 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 19 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
