It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did bigdatacorps[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not enable dubious websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, check the browser and system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
