Streamteam.red

Posted: March 5, 2020

Streamteam.red is a page that specializes in hijacking your Web browser's push notifications. Of course, no one would agree to provide a random, unknown website with such permissions, and this is why Streamteam.red may employ clever tricks to get users to allow it to display notifications. One of the tactics it uses for this purpose is to ask users to confirm that they are not robots to continue – the 'robot check' is performed by pressing the button 'Allow.' However, there is a catch – the button is not a part of the website and, instead, it is spawned by your Web browser and prompts to allow Streamteam.red to show notifications. If you are not extra cautious, you may end up allowing Streamteam.red to abuse your Web browser's push notifications accidentally.

This is not a major problem, but it might have a negative impact on your Web browsing experience since you will end up seeing tons of Streamteam.red notifications while using your computer. Depending on your browser's configuration, the Streamteam.red notifications may show up even if your browser is not being used currently. Needless to say, such behavior can be very annoying, when you take into account the fact that Streamteam.red's notifications rarely often interesting content, especially. In fact, it is recommended to avoid following the links found in the Streamteam.red notifications since they may lead you to shady websites and content.
