The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, ttraff.cc, which is disguised as a resource for interpreting SPSS output. This suggests a social engineering lure to direct users to malicious infrastructure. The PDF also contains a large number of embedded links, many pointing to static.usrfiles.com, which is indicative of SEO poisoning or link farming techniques to obscure the malicious redirector. No scripts were extracted, but the primary malicious activity appears to be the redirection to the malicious URL.

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.
