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

The ML classifier strongly indicated maliciousness, and the SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE heuristic directly identified the document's purpose as an advance-fee fraud. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'Quidditch through the ages illustrated edition' and multiple URLs that appear to be part of a lure. These URLs likely lead to further stages of the attack, such as credential harvesting or malware download.

Heuristics 4

  • Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LURE
    Document contains lottery/beneficiary or prize language together with large-value draft/funds wording and parcel/courier delivery requirements. This is a classic advance-fee fraud document shape.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
