T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'ttraff.com'. It also exhibits a PDF link farm, with many links pointing to Shopify domains, likely for SEO poisoning or to obscure the malicious redirector. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the same URL as the malicious redirector, reinforcing the lure. The 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' heuristic suggests this PDF might be a precursor to delivering a password-protected archive, a common tactic to bypass security gateways.
Heuristics 4
-
PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINKPDF 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_FARMSmall 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.
-
Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LUREDocument gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=amcat+aptitude+questions+and+answers+pdf
