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

The PDF was flagged for containing a malicious redirector link and a link farm. The embedded URL `https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=dianne+craft+brain+integration+thera` is a critical finding, indicating a redirection to potentially harmful content. The presence of numerous external PDF links, such as `https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/2813e2_3c72aa5c43ae48319ed8465c7b067ff8.pdf`, suggests a coordinated effort to distribute content or lure victims through a network of linked documents. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness.

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.
