MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious Link T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.club/wix?keyword=diablo+3++windows+10'. Additionally, it exhibits a PDF link farm heuristic, with numerous links to shopify.com PDFs, and a high-severity heuristic indicating instructions to disable security software. These elements suggest a social engineering attempt to bypass security and redirect the user to malicious content.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Security software disable instruction high SE_SECURITY_BYPASS
    Document instructs the user to disable antivirus or security software — unusual for ordinary documents and high-risk in an unsolicited file
  • 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.
