T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a high number of external links, many pointing to Shopify domains, but one critical link directs to a known malicious redirector at 'ttraff.cc'. This suggests a link farm or redirection tactic to obscure the final malicious destination. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same redirector URL, reinforcing its malicious intent. The presence of numerous PDF links and a malicious redirector indicates a likely phishing or malware distribution attempt.

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.
