Gouddin[.]com in detail

Gouddin[.]com displays an image of a robot and a message instructing visitors to click the "Allow" button to verify that they are not robots. Gouddin[.]com implies that visitors need to click that button to pass a CAPTCHA. However, clicking the "Allow" button on pages allows them to send notifications.

We found that gouddin[.]com shows deceptive notifications. For instance, notifications from this page claim that a system is infected and potential viruses are running on a computer. Those notifications urge users to activate Windows Defender, a legitimate antivirus software component of Microsoft Windows, which is not associated with gouddin[.]com in any way.

Notifications from gouddin[.]com can open untrustworthy websites. For example, they may lead users to pages designed to extract sensitive information (e.g., credit card details or passwords) or money, promote harmful software, technical support scams, and other shady sites.
