Device-variety.xyz is an untrustworthy website that is likely to try and take advantage of anyone who lands on it. Rogue websites of this type may run several, different online tactics, with the one shown to users being determined by their specific IP addresses/geolocation. When infosec researchers examined Device-variety.xyz, they were met with a popular browser-based scheme.
Device-variety.xyz tried to convince visitors to click on the displayed 'Allow' button. The action was presented as being part of a CAPTCHA check for bots:
'Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not a robot'
What the site doesn't reveal is that the real functionality of the 'Allow' button is totally different - each user who clicks the button will be subscribed to the page's push notifications. Device-variety.xyz will then be able to deliver advertising materials to the user's device.
The advertisements could appear as banners, pop-ups, notifications and more. Advertising materials generated by questionable sources, such as Device-variety.xyz could be used as a way to promote additional, suspicious and even unsafe destinations. Affected users could see advertisements for fake giveaways, technical support frauds, phishing schemes, sites spreading PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) carrying adware, browser hijacker, data-tracking capabilitie or dubious online betting/gambling platforms. Simply interacting with the advertisements shown by Device-variety.xyz could take users to more unsafe sites via forced redirects.
