Dfewasflyin[.]xyz in detail
Dfewasflyin[.]xyz instructs visitors to click the "Allow" button to confirm that they are not robots. It suggests that clicking the "Allow" button will pass a CAPTCHA. In reality, clicking that button while visiting dfewasflyin[.]xyz grants this site permission to show notifications.
A big part of notifications from dfewasflyin[.]xyz promotes websites hosting adult content.
