Just looking at those domains/paths, these are all probably parts of sites that allow user uploads for various legitimate purposes . Presumably, AI scammers have realized that they can upload shit there and use them for free hosting with a legit-seeming domain that will pass through web filters that aren't scanning the content of pages. When I used sketchy debrid services ages ago, they were often hosted on student hosting for universities or hospital websites in various SEA countries.

LOL. Looks like it's only with PDF files.

A new attack vector in .pdf?

A friend of mine said that this also happens when he search for pirate sites to watch soccer. So is probably searchs for pornography, sports and gambling that trigger this.

maybe they couldnt create all new web pages but they can upload files somehow.

The pdf probably links to web pages with malware

dangling DNS entries. The org has DNS entries that point to a static IP address the organization no longer owns, and someone else gets that IP address and hosts something on it.
