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

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link pointing to ttraff.com, which is associated with a keto diet guide lure. It also contains a PDF link farm heuristic, indicating a large number of outbound links, many of which point to Shopify domains hosting PDF files. The primary malicious URL is https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=the+complete+keto+diet+guide+for+beginners+pdf, which is likely used to redirect users to a malicious site. The document body is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of the keywords 'keto diet guide' and 'pdf' alongside the malicious URL strongly suggests a phishing or scam attempt.

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.
