'Glemurguide.club' Pop-Ups

Posted: September 21, 2017

'Glemurguide.club' is a domain, which is used for only one single purpose – displaying fake alerts and error messages whose goal is to convince visitors that their computers are infected with threats, and they have become the victim of a cyber attack. The messages may state that the victim's e-mails, sensitive data, login credentials, and other information might be exposed to the actions of con artists unless they take action and get in touch with certified support agents who can help them resolve the issue in no time.To make the error messages seem more believable, the people behind the 'Glemurguide.club' pop-ups may have included fake error codes such as 'Error # 3658d5546db22ca.' Although security researchers have detected just this domain, it is entirely possible that the group behind it also may use a large number of other domains and phone numbers.

Talking of phone numbers, it is needless to say that users exposed to the 'Glemurguide.club' pop-ups will see a text, which claims that the quickest way to recover from the attack is to contact 888-448-5333. However, this phone number is not linked to a reputable provider of technical support services and, instead, it is part of online technical support tactics whose goal is to take money from users by luring them into paying hundreds of dollars in exchange for software or services that they don't need.

On the bright side, seeing 'Glemurguide.club' in your Web browser is not a direct sign of a threat infection, because these pop-ups are usually spread with the help of low-quality advertising campaigns. These ads might be hosted on low-quality pages associated with the distribution of pirated software, media or other illicit content. PC users should stay away from suspicious websites, as well as to use a credible anti-malware software suite that can keep them safe during their Web browsing adventures.
