Static.webimpresion.com is a phishing site that disguises its attacks as legitimate requests from reputable companies for your confidential information. Of late, malware experts have seen an increase in browser hijackers promoting Static.webimpresion.com with homepage modifications and pop-up attacks. Removing Static.webimpresion.com hijackers, as with any software that forces you to be exposed to a compromised website, is essential for your online safety, and should use dependable anti-malware utilities to guarantee the integrity of your Web browser.

The Bad Impression that Static.webimpresion.com will Leave on Your Browser

Although its URL most closely resembles that of a standard CDN (or Content Delivery Network), Static.webimpresion.com is a domain that habitually is used for misleading activities, including phishing attacks. Examples of major phishing attacks previously seen by malware analysts include fake contests that request information without providing any rewards, fake surveys, fake bank account verifications and other fraudulent, account login-based Web pages. Information collected by Static.webimpresion.com still is being examined, but you should assume that any data transferred through Static.webimpresion.com is wrongfully possessed, and, accordingly, may be used for fraudulent charges or other crimes.

Static.webimpresion.com's maintainers do not expect you to stumble on their tactic all by yourself; malware researchers have taken note of browser-hijacking threats that seem to be promoting Static.webimpresion.com as its primary payload. The symptom most often observed is a homepage hijack, but you also may experience pop-ups or other browser issues. Current Static.webimpresion.com attacks have been limited to the Firefox browser, even though other browsers could just as easily be compromised.

Wiping the Web Free of a Webimpression Hoax

While stopping yourself from transferring exploitable information to Static.webimpresion.com is a simple way to avoid unwanted credit card bills, browser issues associated with Static.webimpresion.com do imply the presence of threats that will continue to be a security hazard. These attacks also may accompany other security problems with less noticeable symptoms, such as concealed 'backdoor' connections or even the risk of having your PC hooked into a botnet. To accommodate these risks, you should remove any threat causing redirects to Static.webimpresion.com, or other Static.webimpresion.com-related issues, with appropriate anti-malware utilities. Since Static.webimpresion.com's campaign is recent (as of March 2014), malware experts also recommend that you update any anti-malware tools used for this purpose.

Investigations into the threat responsible for redirecting victims to Static.webimpresion.com's phishing attacks continue, but they have yet to isolate individual distribution methods. Until the source of these attacks is tracked down, you'll need to continue maintaining your Web browser's overall security. Blocking JavaScript, avoiding unsafe downloads and other simple procedures can be the easiest ways of keeping Static.webimpresion.com and other corrupted websites from popping up when you do not expect them.
