Hamtitwet.com's pop-ups are designed to look like a confirmation prompt that users must agree with before they are allowed to access the content they were trying to see. However, we assure you that the content that Hamtitwet.com claims to host is fake, and there is nothing to see there – the goal of the fraudulent scheme found on Hamtitwet.com is to hijack your Web browser's push notifications, and then use them to spread advertisements that generate revenue for Hamtitwet.com's administrators. This sort of tactic is known online as the 'Please press allow to continue' scheme, and it is used by hundreds of websites to hijack the push notifications of Web browsers.

It is important to note that Hamtitwet.com is not unsafe, and giving it permissions to show notifications is not a major security threat. However, it may turn out to be a bothersome issue to deal with since Hamtitwet.com's notifications will appear at all times, and they may promote dubious products, services and websites.

You should not allow random websites to display notifications, if you came across them through a random website redirect or pop-up, especially.
