Uponminunan[.]com in detail

Uponminunan[.]com instructs visitors to click the "Allow" button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching. It suggests that agreeing to receive notifications is required to access its content (supposedly a video or videos). Trustworthy websites do not instruct visitors to take such action.

If allowed, uponminunan[.]com can send various fake virus warnings, system alerts, and similar notifications. Interacting with them can open malicious or other untrustworthy websites. For instance, it can lead to web pages designed to trick visitors into disclosing sensitive information, such as credit card details, login credentials, or ID card information.

Furthermore, the websites promoted via notifications sent by uponminunan[.]com can trick users into paying for fake products or services (sending money to scammers), downloading malicious software, or taking other actions. Therefore, users may become victims of identity theft, lose money, infect their computers, and encounter other negative consequences.

Users should never agree to get notifications from web pages like uponminunan[.]com and close such pages if encountered. Our instructions on how to remove permissions granted to websites can be found below.
