Btog.pro

Posted: February 28, 2020

Btog.pro is a bogus Web page whose specialty is to hijack your push notifications by tricking you into thinking that you must perform certain steps to view a video that Btog.pro pretends to host. One of these actions involves clicking the 'Allow' button on a prompt that serves the purpose of providing Btog.pro with the ability to show browser notifications. However, the website does not want you to know this, and it will display a misleading message, which states that you need to click 'Allow' to view the embedded video. If you are paying attention to the message boxes and alerts, you are likely to notice the fraud and decline Btog.pro's offer immediately.

If you, however, fall for Btog.pro's tactic, then you may end up being exposed to a large number of notifications that Btog.pro will make sure to spawn whenever your Web browser is being used. These notifications will not contain the interesting video you were looking for when you stumbled upon Btog.pro and, instead, they will be used to promote paid advertisements that advertise products, services and websites of questionable quality.

If you see Btog.pro's notifications regularly, then you should try to eliminate the problem as soon as you can. One way to do this is to use a security tool that can identify shady browser settings, and the alternative is to revoke Btog.pro's permissions manually through your Web browser's settings.
