News-kezewe[.]cc in detail

News-kezewe[.]cc displays a fake video player and a message saying that visitors should click the "Allow" button to watch the video. However, what happens when users click the "Allow" button (presented by a browser while visiting news-kezewe[.]cc) is they consent to receive notifications from the website.

In most cases, web pages like news-kezewe[.]cc send misleading notifications. These notifications often claim that a computer is infected, the operating system is compromised, some subscription has expired, payment has failed, users have received a message via a messaging app, etc. Interacting with notifications from news-kezewe[.]cc can lead users to untrustworthy pages.

For instance, users may land on technical support scams designed to trick them into providing scammers remote access to their computers, downloading malicious software, or paying for fake services or products. Also, they may encounter phishing sites designed to extract sensitive information (e.g., credit card details or passwords).

Moreover, news-kezewe[.]cc may display notifications designed to trick users into transferring money to scammers (these notifications may direct users to fake giveaways, lotteries, or similar fraudulent schemes). Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to permit news-kezewe[.]cc to send notifications to avoid financial loss, computer infections, identity theft, or other issues.

Additionally, news-kezewe[.]cc can redirect users to similar web pages designed to trick visitors into granting them permission to deliver notifications, such as news-hubuja[.]com.

More about similar pages

Usually, users open sites like news-kezewe[.]cc via misleading pop-ups (e.g., fake warnings), advertisements, or download buttons presented on unreliable websites. It is also common for such pages to be encountered via torrent sites, illegal movie streaming platforms, and other websites that use rogue advertising networks.

Adware (ads displayed by it) can also lead users to websites similar to news-kezewe[.]cc. Sometimes, fraudsters send deceptive emails containing links to trick recipients into opening such web pages. Some examples of similar sites are myholobods[.]com, news-wulacu[.]com, and news-wonota[.]com.

How did news-kezewe[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Untrustworthy websites can send notifications if they have such permission. When users visit sites like news-kezewe[.]cc, a browser provides an option to click the "Allow" and "Block" or similar buttons. By clicking "Allow", users authorize pages to send notifications to their devices. It is important to note that no website can send notifications without permission from users.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If your browser notifies you about a website's request to show notifications, choose options such as "Block", "Block Notifications", or "Deny" (depending on a browser). Do not click the "Allow" button when visiting shady pages, especially those claiming that you must click that button to pass a CAPTCHA or perform other actions.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
