Oh yeah, the malicious websites keep on coming. Here is another notification spam website I found when searching the dark realms of the internet: “Oles24.azurewebsites.net“.

You might encounter Oles24.azurewebsites.net if you are searching for free software or watching free movies online. This website is part of an advertising campaign trying to trick you into allowing notifications by showing a fake robot captcha.

It works like this.

1. Your browser is redirected to Oles24.azurewebsites.net.
2. You’ll be shown a fake “click allow to confirm you are not a robot” page.
3. You be like; sure, I’ll click ‘allow’. Why not?
4. Boom! Ads are shown all over the place.

The pop-up ads will try to alert you that your computer is infected with malware. Suppose you click these pop-up ads (don’t), the browser is redirected to a fake website that looks like a McAfee antivirus scanner.

Its purpose is straightforward: to trick you into purchasing a McAfee license and thereby earn cybercriminals’ affiliate commissions.

As Meja sang, it’s all about the money. Right!? Let’s continue…
