T1204.002 Malicious File T1204.001 User Execution: Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF document contains a lure for cracked software, specifically 'final cut pro for windows 7', and instructs the user to install a remote support tool. It also contains a large number of external links, many pointing to PDF files on similar domains, suggesting a link farm or SEO abuse tactic. The document body contains multiple URLs that are likely part of this lure, including one that directly mentions the software and crack. The presence of a remote support tool lure is a high-risk indicator in unsolicited documents.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • Remote-support tool lure high SE_REMOTE_SUPPORT_LURE
    Document instructs the user to install, open, or connect with a remote-support tool such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Quick Assist, or ScreenConnect — high-risk in an unsolicited document
  • Visual download / call-to-action button lure low SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON
    Document contains a call-to-action phrase ('Click here to download', 'Download Now', etc.) — low-signal unless other findings point to a malicious workflow
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
