Browser notification spam in general

We have written about thousands of rogue webpages; news-ciheca[.]com, adscloudpulse[.]top, and news-cufohe[.]cc are just a couple of our newest articles. The purpose of these pages is to trick visitors into permitting browser notification delivery, and this goal is often achieved by relying on fake CAPTCHA tests or different types of clickbait.

Spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content. It must be stressed that any genuine products/services encountered via these ads are most likely promoted by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

How did phelitic[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Hence, if you are receiving these advertisements from phelitic[.]com – it means that when this page was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Should you stumble upon a questionable webpage – do not permit it to deliver browser notifications (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests from such pages (i.e., press "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

In case of continuous random redirects to suspicious websites, check the browser and system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
