Filmhd.space

Posted: February 18, 2020

Filmhd.space is a website dedicated to running a simple fraudulent scheme whose purpose is to hijack your Web browser's push notifications. By doing this, Filmhd.space will gain permissions to display notifications that may appear on your desktop computer and your smartphone. Of course, these notifications will not contain any relevant content or updates and, instead, they will attempt to promote advertisements, services, products, websites, and other content that the Filmhd.space's administrator has been paid to advertise. In short, Filmhd.space functions like adware, but without dropping any files on your computer.

Of course, no sane person would provide Filmhd.space with the ability to display browser notifications, and this website may use a little tactic to receive the permissions it needs – it pretends to load a video and warns visitors that they have to click 'Allow' to finish loading the media. The 'Allow' button is found in a prompt that asks you to provide Filmhd.space with permissions to show notifications. If you are not careful and do not read the text, you might end up enabling Filmhd.space's spam accidentally.

The good news is that the page's behavior is not harmful, and your online privacy is not in danger. However, this does not indicate that you should stand Filmhd.space's behavior certainly – it is recommended to dispose of its notifications by disabling the page's permissions to use any of your Web browser's features.
