What kind of page is penadlife[.]com?
Our analysis of penadlife[.]com has shown that the purpose of this web page is to obtain permission to show notifications. The site utilizes a clickbait technique to receive this permission. Users should avoid visiting sites like penadlife[.]com and never agree to get their notifications to avoid exposure to malicious content.
Penadlife[.]com in detail
Penadlife[.]com displays an image of a robot and instructs visitors to click "Allow" if they are not robots. In other words, penadlife[.]com claims that visitors are required to click "Allow" (an option provided by their browser) to pass/complete a CAPTCHA. Trustworthy web pages never encourage visitors to take such action.
If visitors click "Allow" while visiting penadlife[.]com, they grant the page permission to show notifications. These notifications can contain misleading information, fake warnings, offers, etc. Clicking them can lead users to unreliable websites, e.g., phishing pages designed to steal sensitive information.
Also, notifications from penadlife[.]com might direct users to technical support scams, fake lotteries, giveaways, web pages promoting dubious (and even malicious) applications, etc. Simply put, the pages opened through notifications from penadlife[.]com may be designed to steal information or money and distribute potentially malicious software.
Therefore, it is important to be cautious when receiving requests to show notifications from unreliable sites like penadlife[.]com. If penadlife[.]com or a similar site already has permission to send notifications, it should be revoked as soon as possible.
