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

The PDF contains a link that redirects to a malicious URL, disguised with a keyword related to a game mod. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK confirms this behavior. The PDF also contains a large number of external links, as indicated by PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM, which are likely part of a link farm to improve SEO for malicious content. The embedded URL in the document body, 'https://ttraff.cc/wix?keyword=gta+sa+cleo+mod+apk+for+oreo', is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely serving as a redirector to a malicious payload.

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.
