MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 User Execution: Malicious Link T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains a lure promising a personalized astrology chart interpretation. It embeds numerous links, with one critical heuristic identifying a link to known malicious redirector infrastructure (ttraff.cc). The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains this URL and other links to static.usrfiles.com, which appear to be part of a link farm designed to improve search engine ranking for malicious content. The primary attack vector is social engineering via a deceptive link.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
