Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is yourbrbads[.]com?
During our examination of yourbrbads[.]com, we found that this page uses deception to lure visitors into permitting it to show notifications. Web pages of this kind should be avoided. Allowing them permission to send notifications can result in receiving fake warnings and other untrustworthy content.
Yourbrbads[.]com in detail
On yourbrbads[.]com, a fake request to complete a CAPTCHA is presented. This site claims that visitors have to click "Allow" if they are not robots (and displays an image of a robot). However, clicking "Allow" (an option a browser provides) grants the website permission to show notifications.
Sites that use clickbait to obtain permission to display notifications cannot be trusted. If allowed, they bombard users with annoying and misleading messages claiming that a computer is infected, the system is compromised, or other notifications. Clicking these notifications can open potentially malicious websites.
These sites can include phishing web pages, sites hosting various scams (e.g., technical support scams, fake giveaways, lotteries), and malicious software. Users can be misled into disclosing sensitive information, such as login credentials or credit card numbers, paying for fake products or services, and potentially infecting their computers with malware.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended to deny inetaispially[.]com permission to send notifications and steer clear of such websites. If yourbrbads[.]com or a similar page has been granted permission to show notifications, this permission should be revoked as soon as possible.
