MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains multiple embedded links, with one specifically identified as a malicious redirector pointing to 'ttraff.ru'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to an 'invitation letter template for uk tourist visa', suggesting a lure. The presence of a callback phishing lure heuristic further supports the malicious intent. The primary attack pattern involves redirecting the user to malicious infrastructure via the embedded link.

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.
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • 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.
    URL https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=invitation+letter+template+for+uk+tourist+visa
