MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains numerous embedded links, with a critical heuristic identifying a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=complex+fractions+worksheet'. The document body, though partially corrupted, suggests a lure related to 'Complex fractions worksheet'. The presence of a link farm heuristic further indicates an attempt to distribute content or traffic through numerous external links, with a significant number pointing to Shopify domains. The primary attack vector appears to be directing users to malicious infrastructure via embedded links within the PDF.

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.
