Characting.club

Characting.club is an online tactic based on social engineering techniques. This website's primary goal is to trick users into accepting its browser notifications so that it can send them sponsored third-party content and generate revenues for its operators. Characting.club advertisements and pop-ups can be very intrusive since they may show up even if no browser is launched, cover all other currently display content, slow down the device performance, and, most of all, contain potentially corrupted links or files.

When Internet users visit Characting.club's page, they come across a fake test message that is supposed to confirm that the user is not a robot. However, clicking on this button gives the unsafe website the permission it needs to deliver its corrupted advertising content straight to the victim's desktop. Characting.club's push notifications permission can be deleted from the browser's settings. Yet, if the pop-ups keep should up, the machine should be checked for other malware kinds, like browser hijackers or adware.
