After examining it, we discovered that news-mopiji[.]com uses several lures to trick users into consenting to browser notification delivery. Additionally, this webpage can cause redirects to different (likely unreliable/malicious) sites.
Most visitors to news-mopiji[.]com and similar pages enter them via redirects generated by websites that employ rogue advertising networks. Other possible points of access include intrusive ads, spam notifications, mistyped URLs, and installed adware.
News-mopiji[.]com overview
At the time of research, we found two types of bait utilized by news-mopiji[.]com to push its browser notifications. One consisted of a bogus CAPTCHA test – "I am not a robot/ Press Allow to confirm that you are not a robot". The other stated – "Browser check in progress", and instructed – "To gain access, click on the button Allow".
It is pertinent to mention that the content encountered on and through such sites may be influenced by factors like visitors' IP addresses (geolocations).
When we pressed the "Allow" option, it resulted in a redirect to a page belonging to the check-tl-ver website family.
Rogue webpages use their notifications to deliver intrusive advert campaigns. These ads can endorse online scams, untrustworthy/hazardous software, and malware. To summarize, through sites like news-mopiji[.]com – users may experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have examined thousands of rogue pages; news-vufafo[.]cc, news-hubuja[.]com, and news-secora[.]cc are merely a couple of our latest articles on these websites. The browser notifications displayed by sites like news-mopiji[.]com push deceptive/malicious material.
It is worth mentioning that while legitimate products or services may be encountered via these ads – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who aim to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing the content's affiliate programs.
How did news-mopiji[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
No website can deliver browser notifications without user permission, and news-mopiji[.]com is not an exception. Hence, when this webpage was visited, the advert delivery was enabled by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
It is noteworthy that rogue sites often use deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA verification tests, clickbait, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing notifications.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not enable suspicious webpages to display them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring notification delivery from such pages or denying these requests (i.e., by clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous redirects to dubious websites, 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.
