Malware Insights
The PDF file contains multiple heuristics indicating malicious intent, including a link to a known malicious redirector and a link farm designed for SEO manipulation. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text related to 'new year eve' and a URL that aligns with the redirector heuristic. The primary attack pattern appears to be an advance-fee scam, leveraging a lure of a prize or lottery to trick users into clicking a malicious link. The link `https://ttraff.ru/pify?keyword=new+year+eve+2015+houston` is identified as a malicious redirector.
Heuristics 4
-
PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINKPDF 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_FARMSmall 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.
-
Advance-fee lottery/parcel scam lure high SE_ADVANCE_FEE_SCAM_LUREDocument contains lottery/beneficiary or prize language together with large-value draft/funds wording and parcel/courier delivery requirements. This is a classic advance-fee fraud document shape.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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=new+year+eve+2015+houston
