How to revoke permissions granted to chainspanlabs.com

What kind of page is chainspanlabs[.]com?

Chainspanlabs[.]com is a fraudulent website designed to obtain permission to show notifications. Our analysis reveals that the site employs clickbait to deceive its visitors. If visitors consent to receive notifications from chainspanlabs[.]com, they can be bombarded with fake alerts and other unwanted and intrusive content.

Chainspanlabs[.]com in detail

Chainspanlabs[.]com presents a fake pop-up message containing a reCAPTCHA logo and implying that visitors have to tick a checkbox if they are not robots. After this, chainspanlabs[.]com claims that visitors have to click "Allow" to complete the verification. However, doing so permits chainspanlabs[.]com to show notifications.

We found that notifications from chainspanlabs[.]com can contain fake alerts. These alerts claim that all files are encrypted and the PC is infected with malware. They also state that the antivirus software is not responding and urge users to update their antivirus software to unlock files.

Additionally, these notifications claim that Gmail data has been leaked and urge users to scan their PC before it is too late. These notifications employ scare tactics to lure users into other unreliable websites through the provided links (e.g., buttons such as "Scan PC" and "Backup Gmail now").

Clicking such notifications can lead to sites that may attempt to trick visitors into downloading harmful software or providing sensitive information such as passwords or financial details. Some of them may also be used to steal money through fake offers, requests, services, or other methods.

Overall, chainspanlabs[.]com is an untrustworthy site that abuses notifications to promote other risky pages. Allowing its notifications can expose users to scams, malware, and other security threats. If chainspanlabs[.]com or a similar site already has notification permissions, they should be removed right away.
