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

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to `https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=apk+facebook+lite+for+nokia+e63`. Additionally, it features a PDF link farm heuristic, with multiple links hosted on `cdn.shopify.com` and one on `sukij.shopcompassrose.com`. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to downloading an 'apk facebook lite', suggesting a lure for a malicious download. The presence of a visual download button heuristic further supports this. The primary malicious IOC is the redirector URL.

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.
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • 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.
