Our analysis indicates that controllednetworkpc[.]com is a deceptive website that uses clickbait to trick users into consenting to receive its notifications. After gaining permission, the page delivers misleading notifications intended to lure users into visiting suspicious or potentially dangerous sites.

Controllednetworkpc[.]com in detail

Controllednetworkpc[.]com presents a reCAPTCHA logo, a checkbox, and a message prompting users to click "Allow" to verify they are not robots. However, this is a deceptive tactic—clicking "Allow" does not complete a CAPTCHA, but instead grants the site permission to send browser notifications.

Typically, notifications from websites like controllednetworkpc[.]com contain misleading offers, fake warnings, or other content to trick users into opening shady websites. These sites can be used to harvest personal information (e.g., names, surnames, credit card details, login credentials).

They can also be designed to extract money from users by offering fake or unnecessary products or services. Some of these sites may be used to distribute potentially malicious software. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to permit websites like controllednetworkpc[.]com to show notifications to avoid exposure to scams and other threats.

If controllednetworkpc[.]com already has permission to show notifications, users should revoke this permission as soon as possible.
