MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains a job advertisement lure and embeds multiple external links. One critical heuristic indicates that the PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure, specifically 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=job+advertisement+for+hr+manager+pdf'. Another heuristic identified a PDF link farm, with many links pointing to shopify.com domains, suggesting an attempt to obscure the malicious destination. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of malicious redirector links strongly suggests the document is designed to lead users to a phishing or malware distribution site.

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.
