Watch-video.net

Posted: October 2, 2020

Hijacking browser notifications continue to be the #1 goal of low-level online tactics in 2020. There are hundreds of websites set up with this sole purpose in mind, and, unfortunately, thousands of users continue to suffer from this intrusive con. Watch-video.net is one of the many websites to engage in this fraudulent practice, and it seems to rely on fake 'anti-robot' checks to trick visitors into giving it the ability to display notification unknowingly.

It appears that 'anti-robot' checks are one of the favorite tricks that fraudsters use nowadays, so we advise you to read all instructions and pop-up carefully whenever you see such messages. If you sense something out of place, we advise you not to interact with the site. Watch-video.net, for example, says that clicking 'Allow' is necessary to verify that you are not a robot. However, users who follow the instructions will end up enabling Watch-video.net's notifications.

Seeing notifications from Watch-video.net is not a security concern, but it can be very annoying because of the website's tendency to display dozens of irrelevant notifications on a regular basis. To end this behavior, you need to limit Watch-video.net's permissions using your Web browser control panel.
