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

The PDF document was identified as malicious due to the presence of a large number of embedded links, a technique often used in SEO poisoning or phishing campaigns to redirect users to malicious sites. The primary malicious URL identified is https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=%25D9%2583%25D9%258A%25D9%2581%25D9%258A%25D8%25A9+%25D8%25AA%25D8%25B4%25D9%2581%25D9%258A%25D8%25B1+html+%25D9%2581%25D9%258A+%25D8%25AC%25D8%25A7%25D9%2581%25D8%25A7%25D8%25B3%25D9%2583%25D8%25B1%25D8%25A8%25D8%25AA, which is flagged as a known malicious redirector. While many other links point to shopify.com, these are likely part of a link farm designed to improve search engine ranking for the malicious content.

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.
