What kind of page is gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz?
We have examined gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz and found it to be a deceptive website. It uses misleading content to convince visitors to accept notifications. Once permission is granted, the site bombards users with fake alerts, warnings, and other fraudulent messages. Thus, users should avoid visiting gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz.
Gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz in detail
Gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz shows a fake video player and prompts visitors to click "Allow" in order to watch the video. It misleadingly suggests that selecting "Allow" is necessary to play the video. In reality, clicking "Allow" grants gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz permission to send notifications.
Websites that use clickbait or other deceptive methods to gain permission to send notifications should not be trusted. These notifications are often misleading and may lead users to harmful websites. For example, gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz can send fake security notifications claiming to be from Norton (a legitimate security tool).
These notifications suggest that a computer is infected. It is important to note that Norton has nothing to do with gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz. Sites like gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz often send notifications posing as legitimate warnings, alerts, or other messages from well-known security tools or other products.
Notifications from gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz promote fraudulent sites that attempt to steal money through technical support scams or other deceitful tactics. They can also take users to websites that are designed to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials (e.g., usernames and passwords) and credit card details.
Additionally, these notifications can direct users to pages that distribute unwanted apps and sometimes even malicious software. Therefore, it is important to avoid visiting gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz and never agree to receive its notifications to mitigate the associated risks. If notifications from gwrldtpnws3[.]xyz are already appearing, it is highly advisable to revoke permissions given to the site.
