Yzup[.]xyz in detail
Yzup[.]xyz presents an image of a robot and a deceptive message. It falsely claims to have detected suspicious traffic from the user's network and urges them to complete a CAPTCHA by clicking "Allow" to prove they are human. However, this action actually grants the site permission to send notifications
Notifications from yzup[.]xyz mimic legitimate security alerts, such as those from Windows Defender, claiming that multiple threats have been detected on the device. They state that "Windows Defender found 5 threats", even though no actual issues exist. These deceptive messages are designed to trick users into interacting with them (clicking provided links).
Clicking these notifications can direct users to unreliable sites, including scam pages or those hosting harmful or unwanted software. These scam sites may attempt to trick users into paying for fake services or products or revealing sensitive information (e.g., credit card details or login credentials).
Users could also be tricked into downloading potentially dangerous software. In general, interacting with notifications from yzup[.]xyz can lead to issues such as financial loss, identity theft, and malware infiltrations. Thus, yzup[.]xyz and similar sites should be avoided and never permitted to send notifications.
If permission has already been granted, it should be revoked immediately.
