MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains a lure related to academic citations, which is a common tactic for advance-fee scams. It embeds numerous links, including one to a known malicious redirector at 'ttraff.cc'. The PDF also contains a large number of links to Shopify-hosted PDFs, suggesting a link farm for SEO manipulation or to obscure the malicious redirector. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of the malicious redirector and the advance-fee scam lure strongly indicate a phishing or scam attempt.
Heuristics 4
-
PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINKPDF 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_FARMSmall 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.
-
Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LUREDocument 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.
-
