What kind of page is datingtorrid[.]top?

Datingtorrid[.]top is a rogue site that our research team discovered through a scam email promoting it. This page is designed to push spam browser notifications and redirect visitors to untrustworthy/harmful websites.

Rogue webpages can also be accessed via mistyped URLs or redirects generated by spam notifications, intrusive ads, sites that use deceptive advertising networks, or installed adware.

Datingtorrid[.]top overview

The behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they load/endorse) can depend on the visitors' IP address/ geolocation. When we accessed datingtorrid[.]top (via a link in a spam email promising an explicit video), it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification. This fraudulent content is intended to trick visitors into enabling the website's browser notifications.

The notifications/advertisements displayed by such sites promote deceptive and malicious material. They can push rogue/harmful pages and software (adware, browser hijackers, fake anti-viruses, etc.), online scams (bogus virus warnings, outdated program alerts, raffles, giveaways, surveys, etc.), and even malware (trojans, ransomware, etc.).

Therefore, via websites like datingtorrid[.]top, users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of webpages like datingtorrid[.]top; allowww[.]com, mydailynewz[.]com, and next-message[.]com are just a few examples.

While the material endorsed through their browser notifications is primarily unreliable and malicious, legitimate products may be encountered as well. It is improbable that reputable developers use notification spam; hence, their creations are advertised by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did datingtorrid[.]top gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Therefore, you have likely visited datingtorrid[.]top and permitted it. Most rogue pages employ deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification, clickbait, etc.) to bait visitors into allowing the notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid seeing undesirable browser notifications, we advise against allowing suspicious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious sites, it could be due to adware installed onto it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
