The PDF contains embedded links, one of which, 'https://ttraff.cc/pify?keyword=duels+mobile+game+guide', is identified as a malicious redirector. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'Duels mobile game guide' and the malicious URL, suggesting a lure to a malicious site. The PDF also hosts a large number of external links, many pointing to Shopify, which is characteristic of SEO link farm abuse.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

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.
