Browser notification spam in general
Notificationstech[.]com, detectvid[.]com, captcha4greatpeaple[.]top, and deretikijob[.]xyz are just a few examples of the rogue pages we have analyzed.
The browser notifications delivered by such sites primarily promote unreliable and malicious material. However, we have observed these ads endorsing legitimate content as well. It is improbable for this promotion to be undertaken or approved by the actual developers. Instead, this advertising technique is mainly employed by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did myhypestories[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you've likely visited myhypestories[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a suspicious website - do not consent to its browser notifications, i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar buttons. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should your browser continuously force-open questionable webpages, it might 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.
