What kind of page is traversol.co[.]in?
While investigating suspect sites, our researchers discovered the traversol.co[.]in rogue page. After inspecting this webpage, we learned that it endorses browser notification spam and redirects users to different (likely untrustworthy/hazardous) websites.
The majority of visitors enter traversol.co[.]in and pages of this kind via redirects caused by sites that utilize rogue advertising networks.
Traversol.co[.]in overview
The behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they host/endorse) might be influenced by the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. At the time of research, traversol.co[.]in used fake CAPTCHA verification to promote its browser notifications.
Initially, the page displayed a pop-up with a checkbox-type CAPTCHA test, which overlaid a video player. Before the test could be completed, the window was closed, and it revealed that the fake player was continuously buffering. Atop the player were instructions to – "Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot".
If this bogus verification test is completed, traversol.co[.]in is granted permission to deliver browser notifications. These ads can endorse online scams, unreliable/hazardous software, and malware.
In summary, through pages like traversol.co[.]in – users may experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
