T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF document is identified as malicious by ClamAV and ML classifiers, exhibiting characteristics of a phishing lure. The PDF_IMAGE_LURE heuristic indicates it's an image-only document with a clickable action, likely designed to trick users into visiting a malicious URL. The presence of multiple external links, including the suspicious trafftec.ru domain, further supports this assessment. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 5

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM

    PDF contains an external URL action

    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.
