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

The PDF file contains a link to a known malicious redirector, ttraff.com, which is highly indicative of a phishing or malware distribution attempt. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same redirector URL and appears to be a lure related to children's paintings. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious.

  • 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.
