Myhypestories[.]com overview

What visitors encounter on and through rogue websites - can depend on their IP addresses/ geolocations. When we accessed myhypestories[.]com, it presented us with deceptive instructions - "Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching". The webpage falsely implies that users will be able to resume streaming/ watching online content by enabling the browser notifications.

Myhypestories[.]com uses the notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. Therefore, by allowing this site to deliver them - users will encounter adverts endorsing untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

In summary, via webpages like myhypestories[.]com, users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Notificationstech[.]comdetectvid[.]comcaptcha4greatpeaple[.]top, and deretikijob[.]xyz are just a few examples of the rogue pages we have analyzed.

The browser notifications delivered by such sites primarily promote unreliable and malicious material. However, we have observed these ads endorsing legitimate content as well. It is improbable for this promotion to be undertaken or approved by the actual developers. Instead, this advertising technique is mainly employed by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did myhypestories[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Hence, you've likely visited myhypestories[.]com and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious website - do not consent to its browser notifications, i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar buttons. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable webpages, it might be due to adware installed onto it or the 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
