What kind of page is cidsbook[.]com?
Cidsbook[.]com (or cidsbook[.]club) is a website designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications. To achieve this, cidsbook[.]com displays deceptive content. Also, may redirect users to other unreliable pages. Thus, users should avoid visiting cidsbook[.]com (or cidsbook[.]club).
Cidsbook[.]com in detail
On cidsbook[.]com (or cidsbook[.]club), users are instructed to pass a CAPTCHA (prove that they are not robots) by clicking "Allow" (an option provided by a browser while on the page). However, instead of passing a CAPTCHA, clicking "Allow" grants the site permission to display unwanted notifications.
Typically, sites that use clickbait to receive permission to show notifications deliver deceptive notifications. For example, cidsbook[.]com shows fake virus alerts (supposedly from Windows) claiming that five viruses have been detected on a computer and urging to perform a system scan. Cidsbook[.]club shows notifications regarding user privacy.
Interacting with these notifications can lead to unreliable web pages, including sites hosting technical support scams, various phishing schemes, fake lotteries, giveaways, and web pages enticing users to download potentially malicious software.
The websites opened through notifications from cidsbook[.]com and cidsbook[.]club can be designed to trick visitors into paying for fake or unnecessary services, downloading unwanted software or even malware, revealing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details or passwords), or taking other actions.
Therefore, web pages like cidsbook[.]com and cidsbook[.]club should not be permitted to show notifications. If such permission is already granted, it should be removed (instructions on how to remove unwanted permissions are provided below).
