MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a high-confidence heuristic indicating it links to a game hack redirector. The document body and extracted URLs reinforce this, pointing to sites offering 'hacks' for games like Coin Master and Roblox. The primary URL, http://netcdn.tw/app/406889139/coin-master-mod-game-hack, is the most direct indicator of the malicious lure.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to a 'free generator / game hack' redirector high PDF_GAME_HACK_REDIRECT_LURE
    PDF's clickable action targets a redirector of the form /app/<id>/<slug>-game-hack — the landing-page shape of a large SEO 'free spins / generator / game hack' lure family that funnels victims through rotating disposable hosts to a malware/scam payload. The multi-link variants also trip ML/link-farm rules; this catches the single-link variants that otherwise score clean.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
