Cleburackers[.]com in detail
Cleburackers[.]com displays a message that requests visitors to click the "Allow" button to pass a fake CAPTCHA test. The site falsely implies that clicking the button is necessary to prove that visitors are not robots. This is a common social engineering tactic used to deceive visitors into granting permission to receive notifications.
Typically, notifications from websites like cleburackers[.]com promote various scams (e.g., technical support, investment, and lottery scams), shady applications (e.g., adware ad browser hijackers), and even web pages containing malicious content, etc. Thus, it is strongly recommended not to permit sites like cleburackers[.]com to send notifications.
A couple of examples of pages that these notifications promote are "Windows Firewall Protection Alert", "Walmart Loyalty Program", and "Norton Security - Your PC Might Be Infected With Viruses!".
