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

The PDF file contains a significant number of embedded links pointing to external PDF documents, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to host malicious content. One of the primary URLs, 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=k%25C3%25BCrt%25C3%25A7e+slow+m%25C3%25BCzik', is flagged as a malicious redirector. While many linked PDFs from 'static.usrfiles.com' are marked as benign, the presence of the malicious redirector and the sheer volume of links suggest a malicious intent, likely to distribute further malware or engage in phishing.

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.
