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

The PDF file contains numerous links, masquerading as a document download for "Ssc stenographer books pdf download". One of these links, https://ttraff.cc/pify?keyword=ssc+stenographer+books+pdf+download, redirects to known malicious infrastructure. The PDF also contains a mass external link farm, suggesting a SEO poisoning or link farm tactic to drive traffic to potentially malicious sites. No scripts were extracted, and the document body is heavily obfuscated, but the primary intent appears to be redirecting users to malicious URLs.

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.
