The PDF file was identified as malicious due to its inclusion of a link farm, with a critical heuristic firing for PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK. The primary malicious URL, https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=mau+%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252Fdevice+em+qualq, is a redirector. The document body contains obfuscated text and a reference to the redirector URL, suggesting an attempt to lure users to a malicious site.

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.
