Tophome24[.]com in detail
Tophome24[.]com presents a message to visitors, stating that they need to click the "Allow" button as a verification step to confirm their non-robot status (to pass a CAPTCHA). By clicking the "Allow" button, users grant the website permission to send push notifications to their devices instead of passing a CAPTCHA.
Upon investigation, our team discovered that the majority of notifications originating from tophome24[.]com falsely assert that a computer is infected with malware and prompt immediate removal. Clicking on these notifications can result in visiting pages designed to capture sensitive information, promote potentially malicious software, display other deceptive messages, and direct users to untrustworthy websites.
In addition to displaying deceptive content, tophome24[.]com may redirect visitors to other potentially malicious websites. Thus, it is highly advisable not to agree to receive notifications from tophome24[.]com and close the page.
