What visitors encounter on and via rogue pages - may depend on their IP addresses/ geolocations.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue sites; satunians[.]com, deretikijob[.]xyz, financesurvey[.]site, and babesroulette[.]com are just some of the latest.

The browser notifications delivered by such webpages typically endorse unreliable and malicious material. While we have encountered legitimate products through these ads, it is doubtful that this marketing technique is undertaken or approved by the real developers. Instead, this promotion is usually done by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did news-cihumo[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only display notifications if users permit them. Hence, you have likely visited news-cihumo[.]cc and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options presented by it. Note that many rogue pages employ deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing their browser notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a dubious webpage, we advise against consenting to its browser notification (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, you should ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser randomly force-open questionable sites unprompted, it could be due to the presence of adware on the browser or 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
