MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains numerous embedded links, a technique often used in link farms to artificially boost search engine rankings or to distribute malicious content. One of the primary links, 'https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=gest%25C3%25A3o+do+risco+de+cr%25C3%25A9dito+pdf', points to known malicious redirector infrastructure. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains this URL, suggesting it is a key component of the attack. The presence of a large number of external PDF links, many hosted on cdn.shopify.com, further supports the link farm hypothesis.

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.
