The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, ttraff.com, which is likely used to obscure the final destination. The document body contains garbled text but also includes the URL and keywords related to 'Warframe' and 'directx admin', suggesting a lure for users searching for game-related downloads. The PDF also hosts a large number of links to other PDFs on Shopify domains, indicating a link farm for SEO poisoning or traffic redirection.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

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.
