Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated thousands of rogue pages; hotbmefene[.]today, hotbyikale[.]cc, osdnetwork[.]xyz, and hotbsopika[.]cc are just some of our newest articles. These websites aim to deceive visitors into enabling browser notification delivery (often by relying on clickbait, fake CAPTCHA tests, and other lures).

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Instead, we advise denying notification delivery from such pages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.

In case of continuous unprompted redirects to suspicious sites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
