Damage level: Medium

What kind of page is news-yepiwu[.]cc?

Upon assessing news-yepiwu[.]cc, we concluded that it is an unreliable web page created to trick visitors into granting it permission to deliver notifications. We found that news-yepiwu[.]cc uses a clickbait technique to achieve it. Moreover, news-yepiwu[.]cc can redirect users to similar websites. Thus, this site should be avoided.

news-yepiwu[.]cc ads

News-yepiwu[.]cc in detail

News-yepiwu[.]cc has at least two different designs. In one scenario, news-yepiwu[.]cc displays a loading animation with messages saying that the browser check is in progress and instructing visitors to click the "Allow" button to continue (to gain access). In another case, the site displays a fake video player and instructs to click the "Allow" button to watch the video.

In both scenarios, news-yepiwu[.]cc aims to receive permission to show notifications to users. Clicking the "Allow" button permits the site to deliver notifications that can contain fake warnings, alerts, offers, messages from other people, etc. Interacting with such notifications can result in landing on potentially malicious websites.

Users may end up visiting web pages urging them to download malicious apps or files disguised as legitimate and important software updates. Also, they may land on phishing pages designed to steal credit card details, login credentials, ID card information, or other personal details.

Furthermore, notifications from news-yepiwu[.]cc may lead users to technical support scams intended to steal money or information or infect computers with malware. Additionally, these notifications may promote fake crypto giveaways, lotteries, surveys, or other schemes. Thus, sites like news-yepiwu[.]cc should never be allowed to deliver notifications.

Additionally, news-yepiwu[.]cc can redirect users to news-vufafo[.]cc (another page created to lure visitors into agreeing to receive notifications) and possibly other untrustworthy web pages.
