Our researchers discovered this webpage while investigating suspect sites. Most visitors to news-hubuja[.]com and pages akin to it access them via redirects caused by websites using rogue advertising networks.

News-hubuja[.]com overview

It is noteworthy that the content encountered on and through rogue websites may differ depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation) or other factors.

We found that news-hubuja[.]com has at least two appearance versions, yet their purpose is the same – to deceive users into permitting the webpage to deliver browser notifications. One version used a fake video player as a lure – "Click Allow, to watch the video", while the other – a bogus CAPTCHA verification with instructions in Russian and English.

If a visitor is tricked by news-hubuja[.]com – they will inadvertently enable the page to display notifications. These advertisements can promote online scams, untrustworthy/dangerous software, and even malware.

When we pressed the "Allow" option on this site, it resulted in a redirect to a page belonging to the check-tl-ver rogue website group.

To summarize, through sites like news-hubuja[.]com – users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed countless rogue pages; globalwoldsinc[.]com, news-secora[.]cc, webseatzelive[.]com, and jordaniablog[.]com are merely a few examples. These websites display browser notifications endorsing deceptive and malicious content.

It is pertinent to mention that while genuine products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be promoted by their developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is performed by scammers who seek illegitimate commissions by abusing the endorsed content's affiliate programs.

How did news-hubuja[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user consent to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are receiving these adverts from news-hubuja[.]com – it means that when this page was visited, permission from delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a dubious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery form such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous encounters with rogue redirects to questionable websites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
