Users that find themselves encountering the Protectconnection.icu page should be careful. The site is designed to employ various social engineering and clickbait tactics in order to trick its visitors into enabling its push notification services. This browser-based tactic is being proliferated through countless pages operating in an identical manner as Protectconnection.icu.
One fake scenario that has been observed on Protectconenction.icu sees that site showing an audio file that is having playback issues. Users will also be presented with a misleading message similar to:
'Click Allow to start downloading'
Of course, the Allow button has a completely different function than the one described in the message. Clicking it will enable the page's push notification services, allowing it to run an annoying advertising campaign.
Users will start to see an increased number of dubious advertisements while browsing. The advertisements should be regarded as being exactly as untrustworthy as Protectconnection.icu itself. They could be promoting additional scam websites, shady gambling platforms, suspicious adult-oriented pages, and more. The ads could even try to convince users to download intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that have been disguised as seemingly useful applications.
