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

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to the presence of numerous embedded links. One critical heuristic indicates a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=d%2526+d+urchin+background'. Another critical heuristic flags the document as a PDF SEO link farm, containing 30 external PDF links, with a dominant host of 'cdn.shopify.com'. The document body is heavily obfuscated and appears to contain the URLs, suggesting the primary intent is to lure users to external, potentially malicious, sites.

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.
