The page hosted a fake video player that was continuously loading an HD video titled "My adult video.mp4". Below were instructions to "Press the 'Allow' button to continue." – they imply that it is necessary to enable thaksaubie[.]com to display browser notifications to watch the video.

Browser notification spam in general

Mypholasshop[.]com, phaliconic[.]com, yourshields24[.]club, lovelypush[.]club – are just some examples of rogue pages we have investigated recently. These websites can greatly differ in appearance and use a variety of bait to trick users into allowing notifications. The ads delivered by such webpages endorse deceptive/malicious content.

While legitimate products/services may be encountered via spam notifications – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did thaksaubie[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you have likely accessed thaksaubie[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option – thus permitting the ad delivery.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable questionable websites to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such pages. Instead, deny notification delivery (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests in their entirety.

Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, check the browser and system 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.
