Erewasnos.xyz

Erewasnos.xyz is a deceptive website, just one of the latest to join the countless other virtually identical pages that were created with the same goal - to proliferate a popular browser-based tactic. These sites are mostly empty with the exception of a clickbait message and maybe one image. They do not need to be any more elaborate than this to run their scheme that involves luring visitors into clicking the 'Allow' button.

What the sites and Erewasnos.xyz, do not clarify, is that by clicking the button, users will be subscribing to that page's push notification services. Afterward, the hoax site will have the necessary browser permissions to start generating monetary gains for its operators by running an intrusive advertising campaign on the user's device. 

The specific scenario presented to the user may change. However, infosec researchers have observed Erewasnos.xyz pretending to be running a CAPTCHA check. The page will show an image with several robots accompanied by a message similar to:

'Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot'

It is recommended to stop sites such as Erewasnos.xyz from performing intrusive actions on your device as soon as possible. After all, you have no control over the advertisements delivered by these questionable sources. As such, they may lead to more online dishonest pages or even phishing sites and domains spreading various PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
