What kind of page is nxt10[.]net?
Nxt10[.]net is a deceptive website that our team discovered while inspecting similar sites. We found that the purpose of nxt10[.]net is to deceive users into granting it permission to send notifications. Web pages of this type should not be visited. If nxt10[.]net already has permission to send notifications, this permission should be removed.
Nxt10[.]net in detail
Nxt10[.]net displays a fake alert claiming that the website cannot be accessed because there is no internet connection. The page instructs visitors to click "Allow" to fix their internet connection. It uses a clickbait technique to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications (clicking the "Allow" option provided by a browser permits nxt10[.]net to send notifications).
If allowed, nxt10[.]net might send various misleading notifications claiming that a computer is infected, offering to download "useful" security or other tools, informing that the user has received some messages from other people, etc. Clicking notifications from nxt10[.]net might lead users to various unreliable and potentially malicious websites.
These websites may host phishing schemes, technical support scams, unreliable software, fake lotteries or giveaways, and similar content. They may trick users into downloading harmful programs, paying for fake or unnecessary products or services, entering sensitive information (e.g., passwords or credit card details), etc.
Therefore, it is strongly advisable not to allow nxt10[.]net to show notifications to avoid being exposed to privacy and security risks. It is worth noting that nxt10[.]net can redirect users to other dubious websites (whether it is allowed to show notifications or not), including super47[.]net, a website that might contain misleading information, deceptive ads, or other content.
