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

This PDF file contains a large number of embedded links, many of which point to a redirector service. The primary malicious URL identified is ttraff.ru, which is used in conjunction with keywords suggesting a lure for popular media content. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains the malicious URL and keywords, reinforcing the social engineering aspect of this attack. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness.

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.
