We have examined woaisn[.]com and discovered that it employs a clickbait technique to deceive visitors into accepting its notifications. If allowed, web pages like woaisn[.]com can send misleading notifications that can direct users to potentially malicious websites. Thus, users should not trust woaisn[.]com.
Woaisn[.]com in detail
Woaisn[.]com displays a fake video player that plays the Universal Pictures intro with the centennial logo. Also, woaisn[.]com presents two messages instructing visitors to click "Allow" to continue/view (supposedly to play some movie). The purpose of this website is to trick visitors into allowing it to show notifications.
Notifications from woaisn[.]com are fake virus warnings claiming that multiple viruses were discovered and urging users to activate Norton protection to protect their computers. It is important to mention that Norton is a legitimate company that provides security software and does not own or control woaisn[.]com or other deceptive pages.
Clicking notifications delivered by woaisn[.]com can open various harmful websites, including phishing sites designed to steal personal information, malware-infected pages that can download malicious software onto devices, or scam sites that trick users into paying for fake services or products.
These notifications may also redirect to fake tech support pages claiming that a computer is infected, urging users to call a fake number. Additionally, they might lead to sites promoting unwanted software, like adware or browser hijackers. Thus, it is strongly advisable not to permit woaisn[.]com to send notifications to avoid the associated risks.

It is unusual for users to visit websites like woaisn[.]com intentionally. More commonly, they are redirected to these sites through rogue ad networks. Torrent sites, illegal streaming services, adult websites, and similar platforms often employ these networks. Shady ads or pop-ups on these kinds of websites can direct users to pages like woaisn[.]com.
In addition, adware-generated ads and fraudulent email links can also mislead users into visiting such pages. Other examples of similar websites include mnadslifes[.]club, bidrdtrck[.]com, and stonecoremason[.]top.
How did woaisn[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
When users land on websites like woaisn[.]com, they see a browser prompt asking if the site can send notifications, typically offering "Allow" or "Block" options. If users click "Allow", they grant the site permission to send notifications. As a result, woaisn[.]com sends notifications because it has been authorized to do so.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If a suspicious website asks for permission to show notifications, select "Block", "Deny", or a similar option. Legitimate websites do not ask you to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA, access content, download files, or play videos. This tactic is often used by untrustworthy sites to trick users into enabling notifications.
If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
