MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a deceptive title and numerous embedded links, with one specifically pointing to a known malicious redirector. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK confirms that the link at https://ggtraff.ru/aws?keyword=waves+physics+pdf+download is associated with malicious infrastructure. The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic indicates a large number of external links, suggesting an attempt to distribute malicious content or engage in SEO manipulation for malicious purposes.

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.
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
