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

The PDF contains a significant number of embedded links, identified as a link farm. One of these links, 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=apostila+de+administra%25C3%25A7%25C3%25A3o+estrat%25C3%25A9gica+em+pdf', points to a known malicious redirector. The document body, though partially corrupted, contains text related to 'Apostila de administração estratégica em pdf', suggesting a lure to download or view a document. The presence of numerous Shopify URLs, some benign and some unknown, indicates an attempt to blend malicious links with seemingly legitimate ones.

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.
