Browser notification spam in general

We have written about numerous rogue webpages; ovitchon[.]com, cikadron.co[.]in, and sulatinborry.co[.]in 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 other clickbait.

While spam notifications endorse deceptive and malicious content, legitimate products/services may be encountered through them as well. However, this promotion is unlikely to be undertaken by any official parties. It is most likely scammers who abuse the affiliate programs of genuine content to obtain illegitimate commissions.
