What kind of page is runicforgecrafter[.]top?

Upon analysis of runicforgecrafter[.]top, it was observed that the website employs deceptive tactics to coerce visitors into granting permission for notification display. Additionally, runicforgecrafter[.]top has the potential to redirect users to other unreliable websites, posing further risks to their online security and browsing experience.

Runicforgecrafter[.]top in detail

Visitors of runicforgecrafter[.]top are prompted to press the "Allow" button under the pretense of verifying their humanity (the page presents a misleading message featuring an image of a robot). The page falsely suggests that clicking "Allow" is necessary to pass a CAPTCHA/confirm non-robot status.

However, this action grants the page permission to send notifications, leading to unwanted and deceptive advertisements. During our analysis of notifications from runicforgecrafter[.]top, we discovered that they are deceptive, presenting false claims such as McAfee subscription expiration notices and warnings about system infections.

These notifications employ scare tactics by claiming that the user's McAfee subscription has expired or that their system is infected with malware, creating a sense of urgency and prompting immediate action. However, reputable antivirus software companies like McAfee do not typically send notifications in this manner, especially through suspicious websites like runicforgecrafter[.]top.

Furthermore, clicking on these fake notifications can lead users to malicious websites or prompt the download of harmful software disguised as security updates or antivirus programs. This can result in malware infections, identity theft, or financial loss.

Also, interacting with ads (notifications) from runicforgecrafter[.]top can lead users to technical support scams, phishing pages designed to extract sensitive information, fake surveys, and other deceptive destinations. Thus, runicforgecrafter[.]top should not be allowed to send notifications.
