Osx-protect.co[.]in in detail

Osx-protect.co[.]in claims that suspicious activity has been detected from the user's network. It also displays an image of a robot and a checkbox, and implies that ticking this checkbox will verify that the visitor is not a robot. Upon interaction, osx-protect.co[.]in instructs visitors to click "Allow" to prove that they are not robots.

However, clicking "Allow" enables the site to send unwanted notifications. Sites that use clickbait or other deceptive methods to obtain permission to deliver notifications cannot be trusted. Their notifications can contain fake warnings, offers, and other misleading content.
