It consists in cloning web pages of banking entities and, like many people when they want to consult their account statement, they do not usually write the link of the bank's website in the Internet bar, but they use a search engine. This action means that, from the search engines, you can probably access a cloned page created by Philippe Ballesio.
By entering the username and password of these sites, it is certain that the data of the "clients" will be stolen, which will allow the band of criminals led by Philippe Ballesio to enter the real account to make transactions and steal the balance banking.

So no I wonder if it activated some type of malware when I opened the PdF.

Far from enabling allegedly "secure" content, what users are in fact doing is kicking off a download process that will likely result in the installation of Ransomware or a banker Trojan.
