Rainorsun[.]site in detail

Rainorsun[.]site instructs visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. It also presents a fake checkbox and an "I'm not a robot" message with a reCAPTCHA logo. The page claims that visitors have to click "Allow" to pass a CAPTCHA. However, this action permits it to send notifications to users.

It is common for notifications from websites like rainorsun[.]site to contain fake messages (e.g., offers, alerts, warnings) to deceive users into clicking them. If clicked, these notifications can take users to shady websites hosting various scams and (or) potentially malicious applications.

These sites can be used to promote fake lotteries, giveaways, surveys, technical support scams, adware, browser hijackers, or even malicious software. They can be created to steal information (e.g., login credentials or credit card details), money, or even to deploy malware. Falling for these sites can lead to monetary loss, identity theft, computer infections, and other issues.

Sometimes, sites like rainorsun[.]site can redirect users to other unreliable web pages (when users choose either of the provided options, like "Allow" or "Block").
