Bo9news.biz

Posted: April 1, 2020

Bo9news.biz is part of a network of domains that are all being used to host a variation of the 'Click allow to continue' Pop-Ups – an online tactic designed to hijack the notifications of your Web browser. Apart from Bo9news.biz, the same tactic can be found on the domains Bo8news.biz, Bo6news.biz, Bo7news.biz, Bo5news.biz and Bo4news.biz. Users who stumble upon one of these pages may see a fake video player that pretends to be loading media – in a few seconds, the page spawns a prompt, which says that users must click 'Allow' to view the video.

However, the 'Allow' button is linked to a prompt, which asks you to allow Bo9news.biz to display notifications – it has nothing to do with video playback. Users who fall for this basic trick will end up enabling Bo9news.biz's notifications, and this may diminish their Web browsing experience because they will begin to see a large number of notifications that promote various services, products and websites. A few of the advertisements that Bo9news.biz spawns will include legitimate content, so we advise you to avoid them entirely.

Hijacking push notifications is a new trend among online con artists, and you should look out for fraudulent schemes like the one found on Bo9news.biz.
