Browser notification spam in general

We have investigated numerous rogue webpages; hotbmefene[.]today, osdnetwork[.]xyz, hotbsopika[.]cc, and heriqo[.]info are just some of our newest articles.

Websites of this kind deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products or services encountered via these advertisements are unlikely to be endorsed by any official parties. It is most likely that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did domfirewall[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites can only deliver browser notifications (advertisements) with user consent. Therefore, you have likely accessed domfirewall[.]xyz at some point and permitted the advert delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option displayed on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a dubious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification requests from such sites (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

It is pertinent to mention that rogue redirects to suspicious websites can be caused by adware. Should you keep experiencing redirects of this kind, check the browser/system and immediately remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
