MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file was identified as malicious due to a high density of embedded links, characteristic of a link farm or redirector. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK specifically flagged the URL https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=uiview+transform+autolayout as pointing to known malicious infrastructure. The PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic further indicates a large number of external PDF links, with https://static.usrfiles.com/ugd/7ff653_98c1f50368d149798f144909a7b408ac.pdf being the first identified in this farm. The document body itself contains garbled text and the flagged URLs, suggesting it is not intended for legitimate user consumption but rather as a vehicle for link distribution.

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.
