MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1566 Phishing

The critical ClamAV detection and the presence of multiple embedded URLs pointing to PDF files indicate a phishing attempt. The heuristic for a password-protected archive lure suggests a multi-stage attack where the user is prompted for a password to access the actual malicious content, likely hosted at one of the provided URLs. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'Fifa world cup 2018 games apk' and URLs, reinforcing the lure.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
