Basicnetworkchain[.]com in detail

Basicnetworkchain[.]com displays a fake security alert. This deceptive message claims that the visitor has visited an illegal and infected website containing unsafe content. It warns that their PC is at risk of being infected by viruses and urges them to perform an antivirus scan to continue browsing safely.

Clicking the "Scan" button initiates a fake McAfee Total Protection system scan, which "detects" threats. It is likely that basicnetworkchain[.]com is used by affiliates who aim to collect illegitimate commissions by tricking users into purchasing the McAfee security product.

McAfee is a legitimate computer security software company that does not control/own basicnetworkchain[.]com. The site is deceptive and should be ignored if encountered. In addition to displaying a fake security alert and running a bogus system scan, basicnetworkchain[.]com requests permission to show notifications.

If permitted, basicnetworkchain[.]com can show notifications claiming that the system is under a malware attack. These notifications falsely state that critical viruses were found during a scan and include a deceptive reference to "McAfee" to appear legitimate. They urge users to click a link to delete the supposed malware.

Interacting with these notifications can lead users to websites hosting various scams, including fake lotteries, surveys, giveaways, technical support scams, etc. Also, clicking such notifications can lead users to web pages designed to lure them into downloading unwanted and malicious software.

Consequently, users may be deceived into paying for fake products or services, disclosing sensitive information to scammers, infecting their computers, or taking other actions. Therefore, basicnetworkchain[.]com and similar pages should never be allowed to show notifications.
