MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF document displays a fake CAPTCHA and a browser extension installation lure, aiming to trick the user into downloading a malicious file. The embedded URL http://netcdn.tw/app/1094591345/pokemon-go-free-download-game-hack likely hosts the secondary payload. The document's content and heuristics strongly suggest a social engineering attack to facilitate malware installation.

  • Payment redirection / bank-detail change lure high SE_PAYMENT_REDIRECT_LURE

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
