MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, which is further supported by a PDF link farm heuristic. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the URL 'https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=contract+for+payment+of+services+template', indicating a lure to external content. The presence of multiple embedded links suggests an attempt to distribute or phish via these external resources.

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.
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • 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 https://ttraff.link/wix?keyword=contract+for+payment+of+services+template
