Rednews7.com

Posted: November 8, 2019

Rednews7.com is a website that users may come across because they have adware installed on their computers, or because they were browsing shady websites that are working in cooperation with questionable advertising networks. Rednews7.com does not host any meaningful content on its main page and, instead, all of its content can be found on sub-pages. The content in question appears to be fraudulent – there are fake video players and pop-ups that urge the users to allow the Rednews7.com page to display notifications in their Web browser. This is a common strategy used to trick users into authorizing a page to bombard their browser's notifications panel with advertisements, and you can rest assured that this is exactly what will happen if you click the 'Allow' button on Rednews7.com's notification prompt.

One of Rednews7.com's pages hosts a fake video player, which tells visitors that they will need to click 'Allow' to view the embed media. Another of the site's fraudulent pages says that the user must pass a 'robot check' by pressing the 'Allow' button. It is likely that the administrators behind Rednews7.com are using other social engineering tricks to get users to authorize the website to display notifications.

The advertisements that the Rednews7.com may push are likely to be very diverse – it is not uncommon for these pages to share links to questionable websites, affiliate links or promotions, and even offers to download Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) or other dubious programs. If you see Web browser notifications from the Rednews7.com page, then we advise you to ignore their contents and revoke the site's permissions to display in-browser notifications.
