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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links, with the primary heuristic identifying a link to a known malicious redirector at 'https://ttraff.ru/wix?keyword=antrenori+fitness+brasov'. Another heuristic indicates a PDF link farm, with the first URL pointing to 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0431/2619/4333/files/35063905623.pdf'. The document body is heavily obfuscated but contains references to the redirector URL. The overall purpose appears to be driving traffic to potentially malicious or spam-related content.

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.
