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

The PDF file contains a heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=dead+effect+2+apk+mod+mega'. Additionally, it exhibits characteristics of a PDF link farm, with numerous embedded links, many of which are to Shopify-hosted PDFs. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same malicious URL and a benign-looking PDF link, suggesting a lure to download potentially unwanted or malicious content. The presence of a 'download button' heuristic further supports the attack pattern of social engineering users into clicking malicious links.

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.
