Withoughtc.top

Withoughtc.top is a mostly empty website. However, that is just a ruse. Withoughtc.top goal is to trick visitors into falling for a popular browser-based tactic. By using false alert or error messages and manipulative social-engineering tactics, Withoughts.top lures users into clicking the 'Allow' button resulting in the site receiving all of the browser permissions required to execute its true purpose - the delivery of sponsored advertisements to the affected device and the generation of monetary gains in the process.

Not only is Withoughtc.top far from being unique as there are countless websites virtually identical to it already put on the Internet, but it also relies on the most popular tactic scenario by pretending to be conducting a bot captcha check. Displayed prominently across the website's page is the following message:

'Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot!'

Other possible fake statements that could be generated in separate pop-up bubbles include:

'Withoughtc.top wants to Show notifications.

Withoughtc.top says: CLICK ALLOW TO CLOSE THIS PAGE.'

The generated advertisements could interfere with the device's normal browsing experience by covering some of the actual content on visited pages. More importantly, however, users should avoid clicking on any of them, as they could lead to suspicious or outright compromised third-party websites. Users could be redirected to technical support tactics, offers for a multitude of PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or even fake software updates.
