The PDF file contains a SE_INVOICE_LURE heuristic, indicating it's designed as a fake invoice or payment scam. It also features a PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK pointing to 'ttraff.ru', which is known malicious infrastructure. The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic suggests the document is part of a larger link farm, likely to improve search engine ranking for malicious content. The primary malicious URL identified is 'https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=public+health+act+2005+mandatory+reporting'. No scripts were extracted from this sample.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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 https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=public+health+act+2005+mandatory+reporting
