While examining myitmads[.]org, we found that it employs a technique known as clickbait. The site is created to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications. Users should not accept notifications from myitmads[.]org and similar websites because it could lead to privacy and security issues.
Myitmads[.]org in detail
Myitmads[.]org presents an image of a robot with an instruction to click "Allow" to prove that you are not a robot. The page imitates a CAPTCHA test to deceive visitors into thinking they must click "Allow" to proceed and access the site. However, clicking that button (provided by a browser) accepts notifications from myitmads[.]org.
Usually, web pages like myitmads[.]org send misleading notifications (fake warnings and other messages) claiming that a computer is infected, a system error has occurred, some service subscription has expired, etc. Interacting with these notifications can take users to untrustworthy websites.
These websites can host phishing schemes, technical support scams, fake giveaways, etc. They can be used to trick visitors into transferring money to scammers (e.g., paying for fake services), downloading malicious software, disclosing sensitive information (e.g., login credentials, passwords), or taking other actions.
Overall, trusting web pages promoted via notifications shown by myitmads[.]org can result in malware infiltration, monetary loss, identity theft, and other issues. Therefore, myitmads[.]org should not be allowed to display notifications.
