Browser notification spam in general

Flisshop[.]club, news-guhore[.]com, thissrmadsme[.]org, and ladsstudio[.]com are just a few of our latest articles on rogue pages. These websites aim to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery; how this purpose is achieved can differ greatly.

Spam notifications promote deceptive and malicious material. Keep in mind that any genuine content encountered through these adverts is most likely endorsed by scammers seeking to acquire illegitimate commissions by abusing their affiliate programs.

How did mumpings[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

User consent is required for any website to deliver browser notifications, and mumpings[.]com is no exception. Therefore, if you are receiving these advertisements from said webpage – it is evident that when it was accessed, permission for their delivery was given by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable suspect webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, deny notification delivery from such pages (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignore these requests altogether.
