"this pdf is encrypted, download this program (no virus) to show content" or some bs like that, pdfs can also have some macros

It's not a PDF, its a .scr (Windows Screen Saver) program masked as a PDF, most people don't know what an .scr is so they don't care, but an .scr file is pretty much an .exe. What they do is make a huge .scr file, >500mb, this way most if not all online virus scanners won't scan it when downloading, they mask it as a PDF, and inside the "PDF" (.scr) it's a simple script that steals sessions cookies stored on the computer. Not a very complicated attack, just hard to find a target.
