Cnewvi.com

Posted: November 8, 2019

Cnewvi.com is a dubious website that uses fraudulent social engineering techniques to get you to permit this website to display notifications in your Web browser. It appears that the pages hosting the fraudulent content are compatible with both computers and smartphones, therefore enhancing the potential reach of the fraud. The good news is that Cnewvi.com is not classified as unsafe, and you should be safe from trouble even if you happen to allow the website to display notifications. However, do remember that the content promoted by Cnewvi.com is not to be trusted – it may contain links to shady websites, questionable marketplaces or affiliate links to services.

Some of the tricks that pages like Cnewvi.com may use to get users to allow notifications are rather simple:

  • The users are told that they can only view the embed media if they press the 'Allow' button in their Web browser.
  • The users are told that they have to pass a CAPTCHA check by clicking the 'Allow' button in the displayed prompt.
  • The users are told that they have to press 'Allow' to proceed to the next page and view the content they were seeking.

It is recommended to avoid giving 'Notification Permissions' to websites that you do not visit on a daily basis and do not have an excellent reputation. If you see the Cnewvi.com's notifications in your Web browser, then we suggest that you review the permissions for this page and revoke its rights to display notifications.
