Frequent and unwanted redirects to the Destyy.com page could be a signal that there is a browser hijacker lurking on the user's computer or device. Browser hijackers are intrusive applications equipped with the necessary functionality to take control over most Web browsers and arbitrarily modify their settings. By substituting the current homepage, new tab page, and default search engine with a promoted page, such as Destyy.com, the browser hijacker could begin generating artificial traffic towards it.
It is important to keep in mind that the vast majority of these dubious applications also fall in the PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs) category due to the questionable methods utilized in their distribution. Indeed, PUPs are commonly observed being included in shady software bundles or even fake installers/updates, as a way to mask their installation from users' attention.
In addition to the more visible consequences of having a PUP active on the computer, users also should be aware that these programs may be silently performing other actions. After all, a huge portion of PUPs also possess data-harvesting capabilities. Most are interested in obtaining browser-related data - the user's browsing history, search history, clicked URLs, etc. However, some PUPs also may capture and then transmit device details or even information extracted from browsers' autofill data, a feature typically used as a way to easily populate account credentials, banking information, payment details and other sensitive data.
