MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious Link

This PDF file exhibits malicious behavior through a critical heuristic firing for a redirector link, pointing to 'ttraff.me'. Additionally, it contains a large number of external PDF links hosted on Shopify, indicative of a link farm. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious verdict. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging these links, likely for SEO manipulation or to distribute further 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.
