MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF document is identified as malicious due to its structure, which resembles a screenshot lure designed to trick users into clicking a link. The embedded URL, https://traffmen.ru/aws?utm_term=zombie+catchers+apk+mod+latest+version, is flagged as a known malicious redirector. The document's content is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of a malicious redirector strongly suggests an intent to lead the user to a phishing site or a download of further malicious content.

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK

  • Image-only document with action trigger (screenshot lure) medium PDF_IMAGE_LURE
    PDF has 1 image(s), only 0 text block(s), carries a click-outward action, and is only 50 KB — typical shape of a phishing lure where a full-page screenshot hides a clickable button that launches or submits to an attacker URL.
  • 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.
