What kind of page is news-tecayu[.]cc?

While inspecting dubious websites, our researchers discovered the news-tecayu[.]cc rogue page. It operates by pushing spam browser notifications and redirecting visitors to different (likely untrustworthy/malicious) webpages. Most users enter news-tecayu[.]cc and similar sites through redirects caused by webpages using rogue advertising networks.

News-tecayu[.]cc overview

The content encountered on and via rogue websites may be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). Once we entered news-tecayu[.]cc, it presented us with adult-oriented clickbait.

The page contained a fake video player with the title "xxx video.mp4" on the top-left corner and "18+" near the middle. A purple button at the bottom instructed to [click] "ALLOW TO WATCH". With this deception, the site attempts to trick visitors into enabling it to display browser notifications.

If the "Allow" button is pressed, news-tecayu[.]cc will deliver notifications/ads promoting online scams, unreliable/hazardous websites and software, and even malware.

In summary, through pages like news-tecayu[.]cc - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have inspected thousands of rogue webpages; jerenga[.]click, news-jixuzi[.]cc, keepsafetycore[.]com, ukindwouldm[.]xyz, lpnotworld[.]com - are just some examples.

These sites deliver browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious material. It must be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites require user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you have likely accessed news-tecayu[.]cc and permitted it to display these ads. In other words, clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications, do not permit suspicious websites to display them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites unprompted, it might be caused by the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
