Counterms.club

Posted: July 31, 2020

Not all online con artists work with elaborate tactics whose final goal is money or identity theft. In fact, the majority of online tactics are very simple and harmless – an example of such a tactic is hosted on Counterms.club, a page dedicated to hijacking the browser notifications of its visitors. Naturally, users would not grant any random website the ability to use browser notifications, and this is why Counterms.club will use some shady tricks to get the permissions it needs. As soon as a user opens Counterms.club, they may be welcomed by a big message that says 'Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot.' This might sound like a valid prompt, but the truth is that clicking the 'Allow' button will do nothing else but to subscribe you to Counterms.club's notifications.

Once Counterms.club has the permissions it needs, it may begin to deliver dozens of intrusive and unwanted notifications to your Web browser. The content of its notifications is not to be trusted, and they may often end up promoting shady sites, gambling services, adult videos, and even other tactics that could be more threatening.

Troubled by Counterms.club notifications? Remove them by opening your browser's 'Site Settings' menu and revoking all permissions granted to Counterms.club.
