Cardiidae.com is an untrustworthy page that utilizes various misleading messages to take advantage of its visitors. One of the schemes propagated by the site exploits the legitimate push notifications browser feature, as a way to deliver unwanted and intrusive advertisements to users. However, for the tactic to work, the site must first lure users into pressing the displayed 'Allow' button. This particular behavior can be found in countless other rogue websites across the Internet so users should always look for red flags when encountering unfamiliar pages.

To hide its true intentions, Cardiidae.com may use different fake scenarios. The site may pretend to be doing a CAPTCHA check, urging users to prove that they are not robots by pressing 'Allow.' Another variation that has been observed on the page involves showing a video window. The site will claim that to access the supposed video content, users must first press the button via messages similar to 'Press Allow to watch the video.'

If Cardiidae.com receives the required browser permissions, it is likely to begin generating advertisements for dubious, hoax, or even unsafe destinations. Users are likely to be presented with advertisements for intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), fake giveaways, phishing pages, suspicious adult sites, online betting/gaming platforms and more.
