Rex-news1.club

Posted: December 10, 2019

Rex-news1.club is a website dedicated to spawning undesired advertisements by taking advantage of the Web browser's ability to display notifications from authorized Web pages. However, before it can use its aggressive advertising techniques, the administrators of Rex-news1.club needs to get the user's permission to make use of the browser's notifications. To achieve this, they have set up a list of fake pages that display a fake media player and ask the user to click 'Allow' on the 'Show Notifications' prompt to view the embed media. This is a common strategy that online con artists use to get users to follow their instructions – while allowing an unknown page to display notifications is not a major security risk, it may turn out to be a very annoying issue to deal with.

If you end up allowing Rex-news1.club or a similar page to display browser notifications, they may begin to bombard you with links to various blogs, affiliate links, sponsored content, and even adult videos or pictures immediately. Needless to say, being flooded with that content while browsing the Web is not a positive experience when it happens non-stop, especially.

You should never trust random pages that ask you to enable browser notifications to view embedded media – these alerts are usually fake, and you will not be able to view any video or audio even if you comply with the request. If you have already permitted Rex-news1.club to display notifications, then you should try to resolve the issue as soon as possible. To revoke Rex-news1.club's permissions to display notifications, you should use your Web browser's settings console.
