Browser notification spam in general

Chernars[.]com, il0vemyc0untryandsteaks[.]com, aboutlottads[.]top, and pbmsoultions[.]com are merely some of our newest articles on rogue websites. These pages aim to trick visitors into enabling browser notification delivery.

Spam notifications are known to endorse deceptive and malicious material. While legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers or other official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the endorsed content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
