How to remove permissions granted to news-muwako.com

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

In our analysis of the news-muwako[.]com website, we determined that its primary objective is to obtain permission to display notifications using a clickbait technique. We discovered that news-muwako[.]com showcases deceptive content to coax visitors into granting this permission. Additionally, the website redirects users to questionable sites.

News-muwako[.]com in detail

When users navigate to news-muwako[.]com, they are presented with what appears to be a video player. Simultaneously, a pop-up window emerges, saying that news-muwako[.]com wants to show notifications. The implication is that users must consent to notifications from news-muwako[.]com to play the video or explore the site further, even though the primary goal is to trick users into enabling these notifications without offering the promised content.

Once enabled, these notifications can serve a multitude of purposes. Users might find themselves bombarded with ads for dubious products, offers that seem too good to be true, or even prompts to download unwanted programs or malware. Notifications from such sites are often misleading, promoting fraudulent services and goods, thereby posing a risk of financial loss or data compromise to the user.

In more malicious scenarios, the notifications could be used to perpetrate phishing attacks. Users might receive alerts and warnings that imitate notifications from well-known companies (e.g., security software developers) or financial institutions, asking them to verify login details or to update personal information.

Clicking on these notifications leads to fake websites designed to steal sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card information, or other personal details. Additionally, some notifications push sensational news or gossip to lure users into clicking on them, redirecting them to more dubious websites or initiating unwanted downloads.

Thus, it is highly recommended not to allow news-muwako[.]com or other dubious websites to send notifications. As we mentioned in the introduction, in addition to showing deceptive content, news-muwako[.]com can redirect to other shady sites. While examining the page, we found that it redirects to an adult site.
