MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and contains a large number of embedded links, many of which point to external PDF files. One of these links, https://ttraff.cc/pify?keyword=battletoads+double+dragon+nes, is known to lead to malicious redirector infrastructure. The document body contains garbled text and embedded URLs, suggesting an attempt to obscure the malicious nature of the links. The presence of numerous external links indicates a potential SEO manipulation or content hosting scheme, possibly to distribute further malicious payloads or phishing 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.
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
