Bitdefender[.]top in detail

Bitdefender[.]top is a misleading page that has nothing to do with Bitdefender, a cybersecurity technology company. This page presents an image of a robot along with an instruction to click "Allow" to prove that you are not a robot. Bitdefender[.]top suggests that clicking "Allow" is required to complete a CAPTCHA.

However, there is no CAPTCHA on bitdefender[.]top, and clicking allow (an option presented by a browser) grants the page permission to show notifications. If allowed, bitdefender[.]top sends fake virus warnings and similar notifications. These notifications claim that a computer is infected and urge users to act immediately. They can also contain other deceptive messages.

Notifications delivered by bitdefender[.]top can lead users to web pages hosting malicious software or other unwanted programs. Also, they can promote technical support scams, phishing sites, fake lotteries, giveaways, and other fraudulent schemes. Users may be tricked into executing malware on their computers

Also, users may unknowingly send money to scammers or provide them sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords, social security numbers, ID card information). Either way, notifications from websites like bitdefender[.]top cannot be trusted and permissions granted to such pages should be revoked.
