Suldo.click is highly unlikely to be a site that users open intentionally. After all, it appears that no useful content can be found on the page and the operators of the site are focused primarily on running online tactics. These rogue pages rely heavily on misleading messages to trick their visitors. When examined by cybersecurity researchers, Suldo.click was observed displaying a variant of the 'You’ve visited illegal infected website' scheme. However, what users encounter on the page could vary, based on their IP address or geolocation.

This particular tactic consists of several pop-ups and the main page, all filled with fabricated security alerts and warnings. The shown messages will be presented as if being sent by a reputable source - Suldo.click pretends that the shown alerts are sent by the computer security company McAfee Corp. Rogue websites of this type often include a fake threat scan that invariably detects serious malware threats on the user's device, even though no website is capable of such functionality on its own.

The aim of the fraudsters is to scare users into following the displayed instructions and buying a subscription for a promoted security tool. Even if the application is a legitimate one, users should avoid buying it through a redirect by Suldo.clic, as doing so could generate commission fees for the con artists. It is important to keep in mind that rogue websites also could promote intrusive adware, browser hijackers, or other PUPs (potentially Unwanted Programs) by presenting them as legitimate applications.
