MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF file contains multiple embedded links, with one heuristic identifying a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'Hollywood reporter subscription renewal' and a date, suggesting a lure. The presence of a link farm heuristic further supports the malicious intent of distributing links to external content. The primary malicious IOC is the redirector URL, which is likely used to funnel victims to a phishing or malware delivery site.
Heuristics 5
-
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.
-
Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LUREDocument asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
-
Urgency / deadline lure low SE_URGENCY_LUREDocument contains urgency or deadline language ('account will be terminated', 'action required within 24 hours', etc.) — useful context, but low-signal without other findings
-
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.ru/pify?keyword=hollywood+reporter+subscription+renewal
