Betaversion.me

Posted: March 4, 2020

Betaversion.me is a Web page that you may see in your Web browser when you browse shady websites that have been paid to promote dodgy advertisements. Betaversion.me does not serve any meaningful content, but its landing page often may pretend to be loading an interesting video that can only be played if you press the 'Allow' button – at least this is what Betaversion.me's administrators want you to believe. The truth is that Betaversion.me does not have anything good in store for you, and clicking 'Allow' on the prompt it displays will allow the website to abuse your browser's push notifications.

Pages abusing Web browser notifications have become quite popular among online fraudsters recently since they provide them with an easy way to promote affiliated products and services or other advertisements. Pages like Betaversion.me tend to use several tricks to get their visitors to allow the website to display browser notifications unknowingly.

A quick way to make sure that you will never fall victim to the basic scheme found on Betaversion.me is to remember that you should never provide random websites with the ability to display push notifications. Such permissions should only be given to trustworthy pages that can deliver valuable and important content via this feature.

Thankfully, if you made the mistake of allowing a random website to display notifications, there is an easy way to fix this – use your Web browser's settings to locate Betaversion.me's permissions, and prevent the page from displaying new notifications.
