The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links, many of which point to domains associated with link farms and redirectors, such as ttraff.com. The heuristic PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK specifically flags a link to ttraff.com, indicating malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains the URL https://ttraff.com/pify?keyword=ampas+kelapa+pdf, reinforcing the lure. The presence of numerous Shopify links, while some are confirmed benign, suggests an attempt to blend malicious links with legitimate ones.

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.
