Web-news3.club

Posted: May 20, 2020

Web-news3.club is one of the many similar websites used to display fraudulent prompts that try to hijack the browser notifications of their visitors. Web-news3.club claims to host an entertaining video that the users are likely to be trying to view – however, the page warns them that the video only can be played if they click 'Allow' on the prompt seen in their browser. The trick is that the 'Allow' prompt is not linked to video playback and, instead, it is nothing else than Web-news3.club asking for permission to show notifications in your Web browser. The same tactic is being run on other similarly named sites such as web-news2.club, lmq-news2.club, rfg-news2.club, fnt-news3.club, uim-news1.club and lmx-news1.club.

Although the names of these websites contain the word 'news,' we assure you that they will not use notifications to deliver newsworthy content. Instead, Web-news3.club and the other websites will abuse this feature to deliver countless advertisements that promote blogs, websites, products and services of questionable quality.

It is recommended to avoid browser notifications that are being displayed by an unknown website. If you are being bothered by unwelcomed notifications like the ones that Web-news3.club uses, you should put a stop to this behavior by using your browser's settings menu to revoke the permissions you gave to the intrusive website.
