Online con artists have realized that hijacking the Internet browser notifications of hundreds of users may help them to generate impressive revenue via paid advertisements. In the past year, we have identified hundreds of websites that appear to host pages dedicated to hijacking Web browser notifications – usually, the simple tactic is executed by telling the user that they need to enable notifications to view a video or pass a 'human verification' test. Recently, a new variant of the tactic has surfaced – pages like Montances.club tell visitors that they need to click 'Allow' to download the file they were trying to view. The catch is that the 'Allow' button is not associated with any file download and, instead, its purpose is to subscribe you to the Montances.club notifications.

If you subscribe to this website's content, you may experience annoying issues while browsing the Web. The page will bombard your Internet browser with a large number of notifications that may promote misleading content, shady software and even other tactics.

You should never interact with browser notifications that come from an unknown source since they are unlikely to be associated with a reputable content provider. If you identify such behavior, you should strive to eliminate it by controlling website permissions through your browser's settings.
