What kind of page is thedilgad[.]top?

During our inspection of thedilgad[.]top, we found it to be a deceptive web page. It is designed to obtain permission to show notifications through clickbait. Users should avoid visiting thedilgad[.]top and similar web pages. If thedilgad[.]top already has permission to send notifications, this permission should be revoked.

Thedilgad[.]top in detail

Thedilgad[.]top displays an image of robots and instructs visitors to click "Allow" to prove that they are not robots. It is created to trick visitors into believing they have to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA. However, this action permits thedilgad[.]top to send notifications. These notifications contain fraudulent messages.

We discovered that these notifications can include fake system errors claiming that the operating system is infected with malware, the system folder is hacked, and virus protection is disabled. It is important to note that these notifications are disguised as alerts from the McAfee security tool (and possibly other software).

Clicking notifications displayed by thedilgad[.]top can take users to sites designed to steal information or money. Users can be exposed to various scams (e.g., technical support scams, fake lotteries, giveaways) and other schemes. Also, they may be tricked into downloading malicious software.

Generally, agreeing to receive notifications from thedilgad[.]top might result in financial loss, identity theft, computer infections, and other issues. For these reasons, websites like this one should not be allowed to show notifications. If such permission is already granted, it should be revoked.
