Lepigthree[.]xyz in detail
Lepigthree[.]xyz displays a message saying that visitors have to click the "Allow" button to prove that they are not robots (to pass a CAPTCHA). This is a common tactic used by scammers to trick users into subscribing to push notifications. Once users click "Allow", the site gains permission to send push notifications to their devices.
