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

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to its inclusion of a link farm. The primary URL, https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=yu+gi+oh+225+b%25C3%25B6l%25C3%25BCm+izle, is flagged as a malicious redirector. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains this URL and appears to be a lure related to 'Yu gi oh' content, likely to entice clicks. The presence of numerous external links, many pointing to benign Shopify domains, suggests a tactic to obscure the malicious redirector or to appear as a legitimate content aggregator.

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.
