MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains numerous embedded links, with a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector. The document body, though partially garbled, includes text that appears to be a report title, likely intended to trick the user into clicking the malicious link. The primary malicious URL is https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=fuerza+y+luz+reporte+de+averias, which is suspected to lead to further malicious content. The file also exhibits characteristics of a link farm, with many links pointing to Shopify domains, potentially for SEO manipulation or to obscure the malicious intent.

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.
