Onepenad[.]com in detail

Onepenad[.]com employs clickbait to get visitors' permission to send notifications to their devices. It claims that visitors must click "Allow" if they are not robots (to pass a CAPTCHA). It also displays an image of a robot to make it appear like it contains a CAPTCHA.

However, clicking the "Allow" (or similar) option in a browser pop-up grants onepenad[.]com permission to show notifications. These notifications can contain fake warnings claiming that a computer is infected and similar warnings. They can also contain bogus offers, messages from non-existent individuals, and other deceptive content.

Clicking notifications delivered by onepenad[.]com can lead users to fake giveaways, lotteries, surveys, and similar schemes. Such interactions can also take users to technical support scams, phishing websites, and sites hosting malicious apps (or other unwanted software). Thus, users may be deceived into downloading malicious software.

Also, users may end up disclosing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords, ID card details), paying for fake services or products, or performing other actions. For these reasons, users should be careful when encountering suspicious sites that want to show notifications and avoid consenting to receive them.
