Browser notification spam in general
We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; acceleratednetworkpc[.]com, polvfbks[.]info, bestageandinone[.]org, and coinglide[.]site are just some of our newest articles.
These websites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Keep in mind that any legitimate products or services encountered via such advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did wanttowinbig[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these ads from wanttowinbig[.]com – it means that when this site was visited, permission for their delivery was granted by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted or deceptive browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny these requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
