T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF document employs a social engineering lure, presenting itself as a way to get 'free TikTok followers' and displaying a fake CAPTCHA to trick the user into clicking a link. The primary link, https://netcdn.xyz/app/835599320/free-tiktok-followers-no-human-verification-or-survey-2021-game-hack, is associated with a redirector and likely leads to a malicious payload. The document's structure and embedded links suggest it is designed to exploit user interest in online generators and game hacks to facilitate further compromise.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9616

Heuristics 5

  • PDF links to a 'free generator / game hack' redirector high PDF_GAME_HACK_REDIRECT_LURE
    PDF's clickable action targets a redirector of the form /app/<id>/<slug>-game-hack — the landing-page shape of a large SEO 'free spins / generator / game hack' lure family that funnels victims through rotating disposable hosts to a malware/scam payload. The multi-link variants also trip ML/link-farm rules; this catches the single-link variants that otherwise score clean.
  • Fake CAPTCHA / human verification prompt high SE_FAKE_CAPTCHA
    Document displays a fake CAPTCHA or human-verification prompt — used to trick users into running commands or pressing keyboard shortcuts
  • 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.
