T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was flagged by a critical heuristic for containing a link to a known malicious redirector at http://botcraftman.ru/. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to lure users to a potentially harmful site. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, so the attack pattern is inferred solely from the malicious URL.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8+%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BD%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84%D1%82+%D1%81%D0%BE+%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8&charset=utf-8
