MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains embedded URLs and text that mimic a download lure for 'Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Free'. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious, and the presence of multiple suspicious URLs further supports this. The document's content and heuristics suggest it is designed to trick users into clicking malicious links, likely leading to malware download or further phishing attempts.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
