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:

Push-news-info.com is not a website that users are likely to visit intentionally. After all, the page lacks any useful characteristics as its main purpose is to execute a popular browser-based tactic. Websites of this type are visited either due to the actions of a rogue advertising network or an intrusive PUP (Potentially Unwanted Device) present on the system.
The scheme proliferated by Push-news-info.com involves tricking users into enabling the page's push notifications under various false pretenses. One of the frequently observed tactics employed by these con pages is imitating a legitimate CAPTCHA check. The site will try to convince visitors that clicking the displayed 'Allow' button will prove that they are not robots. Push-news-info.com has been observed to use a different tactic. It insists that by clicking 'Allow' visitors will receive access to some unspecified age-restricted and adult-oriented content. The false messages shown by the page may be similar to:
'To access, click allow!'
'If you are 18+ click Allow'
Of course, no such content exists on the page. Instead, by clicking the button, users will be subscribed to the site's push notification services. Push-news-info.com will then abuse the browser permissions associated with this otherwise legitimate feature to run an intrusive ad campaign.
Apart from a severely diminished user experience, the ads could also cause redirects to more untrustworthy destinations. Users could be taken to other scam pages, phishing schemes, platforms spreading PUPs, or even compromised sites delivering malware threats.
