How to stop the rujba.co.in website from delivering notifications (ads)

What kind of page is rujba-co[.]in?

Our researchers discovered the rujba.co[.]in website while investigating suspicious pages. After inspecting it, we determined that rujba-co[.]in endorses browser notification spam and generates redirects to other (likely suspicious/malicious) webpages.

Visitors to rujba-co[.]in and similar pages enter them predominantly through redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Rujba-co[.]in overview

It is worth mentioning that the content encountered on and via rogue websites may differ based on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). When we investigated rujba-co[.]in, it presented with a bogus verification test – "Google Chrome Security Check/ Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot".

If a user is lured into selecting the "Allow" option, they will inadvertently permit rujba-co[.]in to deliver browser notifications. After we pressed "Allow", it resulted in a redirect to a page running the "You've visited illegal infected website" scam.

Rogue sites use their notifications to run intrusive ad campaigns. The advertisements can promote online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and even malware.

To summarize, through webpages like rujba-co[.]in – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Stoolrop[.]com, iyriqx[.]com, bawelteey[.]com, and enasnews[.]com are some examples of rogue pages we have investigated recently. Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications that endorse deceptive and malicious material.

Keep in mind that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who are motivated to obtain illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

How did rujba-co[.]in gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you have likely visited rujba-co[.]in and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option – thus permitting the advert delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspicious websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options presented on such pages. We advise ignoring notification delivery or denying it – i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.

In case of continuous redirects to questionable sites, inspect the device for installed 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.
