The PDF file contains a link to a known malicious redirector. The heuristic firing 'PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK' indicates that this URL is associated with malicious activity. The document body appears to be malformed or heavily obfuscated, providing no clear user-facing content, but the presence of the malicious link is sufficient evidence of malicious intent. The file was likely intended to lure the user to the specified URL, which could then serve further malicious content.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://botcraftman.ru/?lip&keyword=80211n+wlan+adapter+%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80&charset=utf-8
