T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF document contains multiple invisible and repeated links, a common tactic for luring users into downloading malicious payloads. The document body and embedded URLs suggest a fake invoice or payment lure. The primary malicious URL identified is http://starkave.site/Xero-Where-Are-The-Saved-Invoices/pdf/www.aquilatrucks.com, which likely hosts the secondary stage payload.

Heuristics 3

  • Invisible/repeated PDF links deliver payload file critical PDF_REPEATED_PAYLOAD_LINK_LURE
    PDF uses invisible link annotations and points to a direct payload download. Repeated invisible links or lure-like payload names such as document/unlock/verify archives match malware-delivery PDF carriers where the page is only a prompt and the real payload is fetched from the linked URL.
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
