EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Ranking: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.

BlackOS is a tool that ill-minded persons use to cause browser redirects and drive online traffic to specific websites. In many cases, these websites may be threatening or have been compromised with unsafe content in order to infect the visitors' computers with threats. BlackOS has been involved in several attacks involving these types of tactics. BlackOS first started to garner interest in February of 2014, when BlackOS was first advertised on forums used by hackers. PC security analysts have noted numerous similarities between BlackOS and Tale of the North, a similar threat component that was active in the Summer and Fall of 2013.

BlackOS’ Features and Capabilities
BlackOS is designed to make hacking and online attacks easier to carry out. BlackOS can automate many of the aspects involved in managing and exploiting an attack website. BlackOS allows criminals to obtain larger revenues by making their attacks less complicated to carry out. The main way in which BlackOS helps its users is by providing a helpful Web interface that is used to manage the attack website and observe its online traffic. Using this Web interface, cybercrooks may manage high volumes of online traffic, inject threats and cause redirects. In many cases, BlackOS and components similar to BlackOS may be associated with spam email messages and social engineering tactics in order to initiate the redirects.
Understanding How BlackOS Works
Tools like BlackOS may be used to manage incoming traffic initiated in links contained in spam email messages or from other sources. Depending on the victims' geographic location, BlackOS may be used to redirect computer users to specific websites. Tale of the North was created by Peter Sevara and a team of third parties. Sevara is currently facing criminal charges for misleading tactics involving this threat and the Kelihos botnet. PC security researchers suspect that BlackOS is the work of Sevara's former partners. Despite the fact that BlackOS makes threat attacks more accessible, BlackOS is also very expensive to use. A yearly subscription will charge its costumers close to four thousand dollars.
