MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious Link

The PDF contains a lure for downloading an application, indicated by the 'SE_DOWNLOAD_BUTTON' heuristic and the document body text. It also contains a strong 'SE_MFA_LURE' heuristic, suggesting credential harvesting or MFA abuse. The 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' heuristic points to a malicious redirector URL, 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=aplikasi+whatsapp+plus+6.+70', which is likely the initial stage of the attack. The 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' heuristic indicates a large number of embedded links, with 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0430/3316/5986/files/71197309823.pdf' being the first listed.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • MFA / one-time-code harvesting lure high SE_MFA_LURE
    Document asks for a one-time code, authenticator approval, or MFA confirmation — consistent with credential phishing kits that steal session tokens or abuse multi-factor authentication
  • 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
  • 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.
