We have inspected copigagmixess[.]com and discovered that it presents misleading content to trick users into allowing it to show notifications. If allowed, copigagmixess[.]com can flood users with notifications containing fake warnings and other messages. Interacting with such notifications can expose users to scams and other unreliable websites.
Copigagmixess[.]com in detail
Copigagmixess[.]com displays an instruction to click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot. The page implies that clicking "Allow" will pass a CAPTCHA. However, doing so grants copigagmixess[.]com permission to show notifications that can direct users to potentially malicious web pages.
During our analysis, we found that copigagmixess[.]com can display fake messages claiming that McAfee is under attack and that the Windows system is infected with malware, causing McAfee to stop functioning properly. These notifications also include a warning about a critical error and state that protection has been disabled.
Clicking these notifications can lead users to technical support scams, fake giveaways, lotteries, surveys, sites hosting unwanted apps, phishing pages, etc. Users may be lured into paying for fake (or unnecessary) services or products, downloading unreliable (potentially malicious apps), and taking other actions.
Also, sites promoted through notifications generated by copigagmixess[.]com can be created to steal login credentials, credit card details, ID card information, etc. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to permit sites like copigagmixess[.]com to show notifications, as this could lead to identity theft, malware infiltration, monetary loss, and other consequences.
It is important to note that McAfee is a legitimate computer security company that does not own or control copigagmixess[.]com. Notifications from pages like copigagmixess[.]com often use names or legitimate companies or services to trick users into interacting with them.
