What kind of page is toftheussi[.]xyz?

Toftheussi[.]xyz is a rogue website designed to push browser notification spam and redirect visitors to other (likely untrustworthy/malicious) pages.

Our researchers discovered it while inspecting sites that use rogue advertising networks. Most users enter webpages like toftheussi[.]xyz via such websites. However, they can also be entered through redirects caused by spam notifications, intrusive ads, mistyped URLs, or installed adware.

Toftheussi[.]xyz overview

The content encountered on and through rogue pages can depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we entered toftheussi[.]xyz, it displayed an image depicting robots and fake CAPTCHA verification - 'Click "Allow" to confirm that you are not a robot'. These deceptive instructions are intended to trick visitors into enabling the site to deliver browser notifications. After we pressed the "Allow" button, it caused a redirect to Smarty adware's download webpage.

The notifications/advertisements displayed by rogue sites promote various untrustworthy/harmful webpages and software, online scams, and even malware. Therefore, via websites like toftheussi[.]xyz, users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

The Internet is rife with misleading, deceptive, and malicious websites. We have analyzed thousands of pages akin to toftheussi[.]xyz; desktopnotificationsnews[.]com, notadsnow[.]com, and ourcommonstories[.]com are just a couple of examples.

The browser notifications these sites display typically endorse unreliable and hazardous content. Any legitimate products encountered through these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their real developers. Instead, scammers who abuse affiliate programs employ notification spam to acquire illegitimate commissions.

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

Sites cannot deliver notifications without user consent. Like most rogue pages, toftheussi[.]xyz employs deception (i.e., fake CAPTCHA verification) to lure visitors into enabling its browser notifications. Hence, you've likely visited toftheussi[.]xyz and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented by this webpage.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website, do not permit it to display browser notifications - i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or analogous options. We advise ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable pages, it could 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.
