Description
PhishingX is a malicious PDF file used as part of a phishing campaign to redirect victims to a phishing page. The document carries embedded links and scripts that lead users to credential harvesting sites, bypassing defenses that focus on email attachments alone. Researchers documented the family in a RedLine stealer campaign that abused PDF links, and detections indicate exposure to credential theft lures.
