The PDF contains multiple heuristics indicating a malicious intent, specifically the use of repeated and invisible links to deliver a payload. One of the embedded URLs, http://markpteraschok.wiki-data.ru/d?keyword=gustav+becker+clocks+dating&charset=utf-8&source=weebly.com, is directly associated with this payload delivery lure. While another URL, http://bit.ly/FastDating18, was flagged as benign, the presence of the other malicious indicators warrants a high-risk assessment.

Heuristics 3

  • Invisible/repeated PDF links deliver payload file critical PDF_REPEATED_PAYLOAD_LINK_LURE
    PDF uses invisible link annotations and points to a direct payload download. Repeated invisible links or lure-like payload names such as document/unlock/verify archives match malware-delivery PDF carriers where the page is only a prompt and the real payload is fetched from the linked URL.
  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) action whose destination is a URL shortener. This hides the final landing page from static review and is common in phishing redirect PDFs.
  • 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.
