How to revoke permissions granted to news-tiwigo.cc

What kind of page is news-tiwigo[.]cc?

Our analysis has revealed that news-tiwigo[.]cc is a rogue webpage designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive browser notifications. It does this by displaying a fake robot verification prompt. If the permission is granted, news-tiwigo[.]cc can deliver fake warnings and other misleading notifications.

News-tiwigo[.]cc overview

News-tiwigo[.]cc presents visitors with a fake identity verification page. The browser tab is titled "Are you a robot?" and the page itself features a cartoon businessman pointing toward a speech bubble that reads: "Click 'Allow', to confirm that you are not a robot". A blue robot illustration and the word "VERIFICATION" appear in the lower portion of the page, adding to the impression that this is a legitimate check.

In reality, clicking "Allow" on the browser prompt does nothing to verify the visitor's identity. It simply grants news-tiwigo[.]cc permission to send push notifications. Sites like this often display different content depending on the subdomain or URL path, so the version shown in the screenshot may not be the only one visitors encounter.

Once notification permissions are granted, news-tiwigo[.]cc can push alerts to the desktop at any time, including when the browser is closed. These notifications typically contain fake virus warnings, claims about system infections, prize giveaway messages, or other deceptive content designed to get users to click on them.

Clicking on these notifications can lead to phishing pages that imitate banking portals, email services, or social media sites in order to harvest login credentials. Tech support scam pages are also common, where a fake alert urges the user to call a toll-free number staffed by fraudsters. In other cases, the links promote potentially unwanted applications that track browsing activity, inject ads, or slow down the system.

Some of these notifications may also redirect to pages that distribute malware directly, including trojans and ransomware. Even when a legitimate product appears in a notification ad, it is typically promoted through affiliate fraud, where scammers abuse referral programs to earn commissions through deceptive means.

Users who have allowed news-tiwigo[.]cc to send notifications should revoke the permission immediately to reduce the risk of system infections, financial loss, or identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general

Pages like news-tiwigo[.]cc are widespread, and users typically reach them without intending to. Rogue advertising networks, commonly found on torrent sites, illegal streaming platforms, and adult content pages, are one of the most frequent sources. Clicking on deceptive pop-ups or fake download buttons on low-quality websites is another common path.

Adware installed on the device can also trigger automatic redirects to these pages. In some cases, users land on them after following links in spam emails or social media messages. A mistyped URL can also lead to a rogue page. Additionally, many of these sites redirect users to another identical page right after clicking "Allow", creating a chain effect where notification permissions are granted to multiple domains in rapid succession.

Additional examples of websites similar to news-tiwigo[.]cc are news-temodu[.]com, panneyess[.]com, and pocamish[.]com.

How did news-tiwigo[.]cc gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Web browsers require explicit user permission before any website can send notifications. If ads from news-tiwigo[.]cc are showing up on the desktop, it means the site was visited at some point and the "Allow" button was clicked, likely after being misled by the fake verification prompt.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

Any website that asks you to click "Allow" in order to confirm your identity, access a video, or pass a CAPTCHA check should not be trusted. These are social engineering tricks. The safest response is to close the page or click "Block" when the notification prompt appears.

If unwanted notifications are already appearing, running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows will remove them and block the site from sending further ads.
