What kind of page is weseeitnow[.]com?
During our analysis of weseeitnow[.]com, we learned that the purpose of this site is to receive permission from visitors to show notifications. This site uses a deceptive method to achieve its goal. Users should be cautious when encountering pages like weseeitnow[.]com and never allow them to show notifications.
Weseeitnow[.]com in detail
Weseeitnow[.]com instructs users to click" Allow" to watch the video and close the presented pop-up message. The site implies that visitors have to click "Allow" to be able to access its content. However, this is just a clickbait technique to lure visitors into agreeing to receive notifications from the page.
No actual video is played upon clicking "Allow". Instead, weseeitnow[.]com starts sending deceptive notifications containing fake virus alerts and similar messages. We found that weseeitnow[.]com can deliver bogus Malwarebytes notifications, claiming that four viruses are attacking a computer and that an urgent update is required to protect it.
Clicking these notifications can lead to phishing sites, technical support scams, fake giveaways, lotteries, etc. The opened pages may trick users into disclosing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords, ID card information), paying money for fake services or products, or taking other actions.
Also, users may be lured into downloading unwanted and malicious software. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to permit weseeitnow[.]com to show notifications. If this site already has permission to send them, this permission should be revoked. Our guide for eliminating permissions granted to websites like weseeitnow[.]com is provided below.
