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

The PDF document contains a lure related to a popular movie title, 'Chocolate full movie in tamil', to entice users to click on embedded links. The primary malicious link, 'https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=chocolate+full+movie+in+tamil', is flagged as a malicious redirector. Additionally, the document exhibits characteristics of a PDF link farm, with numerous external links, many hosted on cdn.shopify.com, suggesting an attempt to distribute further malicious content or engage in SEO manipulation for malicious purposes. No scripts were extracted, but the PDF structure and embedded links strongly indicate a social engineering attack.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
