The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to lure the user to a malicious site. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated and truncated, preventing further analysis of the specific lure.

Heuristics 2

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
