What kind of page is glam-celebrity-news[.]com?

Our research team discovered the glam-celebrity-news[.]com rogue site while inspecting untrustworthy websites. This page operates by pushing browser notification spam and redirecting visitors to different (likely suspicious/malicious) sites.

Users typically access glam-celebrity-news[.]com and webpages akin to it – through redirects caused by websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Glam-celebrity-news[.]com overview

It is pertinent to mention that the content promoted on and via rogue webpages may differ depending on visitors' IP addresses (geolocations).

When we visited the glam-celebrity-news[.]com page, it presented us with clickbait. To expand upon this: the webpage depicted snippets of text overlaying one another, and it contained a pop-up window on top. The pop-up stated – "Your Video Is Ready/ Press Play to start the video/ Cancel/ PLAY". The background page contained moving graphics and text instructing – "To access the website content, click Allow" and "Allow button to continue".

If tricked by this deception, the visitor will inadvertently permit glam-celebrity-news[.]com to deliver browser notifications. These advertisements predominantly endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware.

Therefore, through sites like glam-celebrity-news[.]com – users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed numerous rogue pages; centrumrocks[.]com, onegadsdesign[.]com, and psoufauh[.]com are just a couple examples of our latest finds. These websites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered through these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by their actual developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did glam-celebrity-news[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites require user permission to deliver browser notifications (advertisements). Hence, you have likely entered the glam-celebrity-news[.]com page at some point and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus enabling the notification/ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious webpage – do not permit it to display browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous encounters with unprompted redirects to questionable websites, check the device for the presence of advertising-supported software (adware). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
