Digitalpush.org is an untrustworthy website designed to deliver dubious content to its visitors. More specifically, the page takes advantage of the legitimate push notifications browser feature to run an intrusive ad campaign and generate revenue for its operators. This particular online tactic can be found on countless other questionable pages that behave in a virtually identical way.

Typically, this tactic consists of trying to convince visitors into clicking the displayed 'Allow' button under various false pretenses. Most commonly, the dubious page will pretend that its content is locked behind a CAPTCHA check and that users who click 'Allow' will verify that they are not robots. Cybersecurity researchers have observed Digitalpush.org using a different variation.

The page may claim that users have won a $50 gift card. The underlying goal remains the same, though, and pressing 'Allow' will enable its push notifications. Afterward, users could be subjected to a significant influx of deceptive and clickbait advertisements. Users could be shown advertisements for other unsafe destinations, phishing schemes, or platforms spreading intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). It is also possible that interacting with the advertisements will trigger forced redirects to suspicious websites.
