Wmgf.art

Posted: December 7, 2020

Wmfg.art is a website used to run a fraudulent scheme whose goal is to hijack your Web browser's notifications. The sites achieve this by displaying fake prompts telling you to click 'Allow' to confirm your age and identity and continue browsing. However, interacting with the button in question will result in subscribing to Wmfg.art's notifications. If this is allowed to happen, the website will begin to abuse the feature to flood your Web browser with advertisements.

Seeing browser notifications is not always a problem, but in the case of the Wmfg.art, it can turn out to be a major issue. This is owed to the fact that Wmfg.art does not use the feature to be helpful or entertaining – instead, it wants to use it to display paid advertisements used to generate revenue for Wmfg.art's administrators.

Needless to say, keeping your Web browsing experience ad-free is recommended, and this is why the Wmfg.art notifications need to be disabled. To stop them from bothering you, you need to load your browser's settings and remove Wmfg.art's permissions to use notifications.
