MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a critical heuristic indicating it's a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.cc/pify?keyword=restricted+area+authorized+personnel+only+sign'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains this same URL, suggesting the primary intent is to trick the user into visiting this malicious site. Another critical heuristic identified a PDF link farm, with the first URL being 'https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/b8c837_0a498d95f1c549b0a84515fce544a631.pdf'. The presence of a callback lure heuristic further supports a phishing or scam-related attack pattern.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • 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.
