What kind of page is werterware[.]com?

In our analysis of werterware[.]com, we found it to be a fraudulent web page that uses deception to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications. If permission to send notifications to werterware[.]com is granted, the site bombards users with fake warnings/alerts and similar content.

Werterware[.]com in detail

Werterware[.]com displays a fake video player resembling YouTube and a loading spinner, implying that a video is loading. Also, the page shows a message instructing visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. In other words, werterware[.]com suggests that clicking "Allow" passes a CAPTCHA.

However, doing this allows werterware[.]com to show notifications. Our inspection has shown that werterware[.]com can send fake notifications advising users to remove useless files, informing them that a scan report is ready, and encouraging them to click the link to reveal the report. Interacting with notifications from werterware[.]com can take users to untrustworthy websites.

These websites can be designed to steal credit card details, login credentials (usernames, passwords, and similar details), and other personal information. They can also be used to lure visitors into paying for unnecessary or fake services or products. Moreover, users may be deceived into downloading unwanted apps or executing malware on their computers.

Thus, notifications from werterware[.]com can expose users to issues like identity theft, monetary loss, computer infections, etc. Websites of this type should not be permitted to show notifications, and if such permission is already granted, it should be revoked as soon as possible.
