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.

Users finding themselves landing on Protectyour-device.com should be careful, as the site is likely to show them various, fake and misleading content. Indeed, the page has been observed running online tactics, such as 'Your Chrome is severely damaged by 13 Malware!' Alternatively, the page also may display a dubious article that serves as a promotion for a sponsored software product. It also is important to note that few people would decide to open Protectyour-device.com intentionally. In most cases, users will encounter the page as a result of redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
Those that encounter the hoax variant of the page will be shown strange security warnings. For example, Protectyour-device.com could claim that the user's Chrome browser is 62% damaged by some malware threat. What this means in practical terms is not really discernible. The fake scares will continue with claims that the attackers are going to access and leak sensitive data from the device, including the user's 'Social Media Accounts, Messages, Images, Passwords and Important Data.'
The article version of the site could be accompanied by a pop-up window containing deceptive messages, such as:
'Missing permissions detected
Click on the bell icon shown in the top right/left of the address bar then click allow'
The intention of the site is to lure users into unknowingly enabling its push notifications. If successful, Protectyour-device.com is likely to abuse its browser permission to deliver unwanted, intrusive, and potentially risky advertisements to the affected systems.
