Cloud1.pw

Posted: April 1, 2021

Cloud1.pw is a misleading page, which you may see in your browser when trying to download files from shady from suspicious websites. Usually, these sites are related to the distribution of pirated games, software, or media, and you should stay away from them for the sake of your online safety. The good news is that Cloud1.pw is not linked to threatening software – instead, it hosts a basic tactic, which aims to gain access to your Web browser notifications. Visitors of Cloud1.pw may be asked to press 'Allow' to enable a file download. However, doing this will command their browser to permit notifications from Cloud1.pw.

If the change above is allowed, Cloud1.pw will be able to deliver notifications to you freely whenever your browser is active. As you can probably guess, this feature will not be used to deliver entertaining or relevant content – instead, the Cloud1.pw notifications are dedicated to showing advertisements for all sorts of content, including shady websites and other tactics.

You should never follow the Cloud1.pw notifications. If you see them in your browser, you should use the 'Site Settings' menu of the browser to limit Cloud1.pw's permissions immediately.
