Vast-conexxion[.]com overview

It is pertinent to mention that the behavior of rogue websites can be malleable by certain factors. In other words, the content encountered on and through these pages might differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation).

At the time of research, vast-conexxion[.]com presented us with a fake CAPTCHA verification test. After we completed these bogus instructions – "Click to confirm that you are not a robot" – vast-conexxion[.]com offered a download of a "hack tool" that enables unlimited access to software, games, books, movies, and other media.

Additionally, vast-conexxion[.]com requested permission to deliver browser notifications. These ads typically endorse online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

Titaniumveinshaper[.]com, endsupreme[.]com, bundsmoney[.]com, and demseemu[.]com are but a few examples of rogue sites we have inspected recently. These webpages deliver browser notifications that promote deceptive/malicious content despite their varying and potentially legitimate appearance.

It is noteworthy that while genuine products/services may be encountered through these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is motivated by the acquisition of illegitimate commissions through the abuse of the promoted content's affiliate programs.

How did vast-conexxion[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, if you are seeing these adverts from vast-conexxion[.]com – it means that you have likely accessed this page at some point, and enabled their delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

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 click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests in their entirety.

Should your browser continuously force-open dubious websites unprompted, it could be caused by adware installed on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
