The PDF file contains a heuristic match for PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK, indicating it directs users to malicious infrastructure. The embedded URL https://ttraff.com/wix?keyword=boy+scout+scouts+own+service is the primary indicator of this malicious redirection. Additionally, the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic suggests the document is part of a larger effort to generate traffic through numerous linked PDFs, with https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/c068f8_6de0655dfd15429680a360b7f5b1a9e9.pdf being one example.

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.
