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

The PDF document contains a deceptive title and numerous links, many of which point to a link farm designed to host further malicious content. One critical heuristic identified a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure, specifically `https://ttraff.cc/wb?keyword=honeywell%20notifier%20nfs-320%20manual`. The document body, though partially corrupted, also contains this URL and other PDF links, reinforcing the lure. The presence of multiple PDF links suggests a strategy to distribute malicious content or redirect users to phishing sites.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF 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_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.
  • 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.
