Yourhypejournal[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue wepbages (i.e., what they host/promote) might vary depending on visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations.
When we entered yourhypejournal[.]com, it presented us with deceptive instructions - "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching". This text is intended to lure visitors into enabling browser notification delivery under the false pretense that it is necessary to continue watching/viewing online content.
When we pressed the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to a page running a scam similar to "T-Mobile Customer Reward Program", "AMAZON TRIAL", "Win SAMSUNG GALAXY S22", "Loyalty Program", and countless others.
Rogue pages use their notifications to deliver intrusive ad campaigns. The advertisements endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful sites and software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; defender-pro-2022[.]xyz, vital-scanner[.]com, and internal-scanning[.]com are merely a couple of examples.
These sites deliver browser notifications endorsing deceptive/malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered through these ads - are most likely promoted by scammers abusing their affiliate programs in order to obtain commissions fraudulently.
How did yourhypejournal[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, you have likely entered yourhypejournal[.]com and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc. It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites often use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, and different deception to lure/scare visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable and potentially harmful browser notifications, do not permit questionable websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you experience continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious websites, it could be caused by adware installed 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.
