Euprefectorin

Euprefectorin is a website used by its operators as a way to run popular online tactics. More specifically, the site has been observed using deceptive messages to lure visitors into unknowingly subscribing to its push notifications. This is a strategy commonly used by rogue websites that seek to exploit this otherwise legitimate browser feature.

When users land on Euprefectorin.com, they are likely to be greeted by misleading or clickbait messages. The exact text of the shown messages will depend on the specific false scenario it will use. Untrustworthy websites, such as Euprefectorin may claim that users must pass a CAPTCHA check or that the only way to access a supposed video content is by clicking the conveniently displayed 'Allow' button. What the rogue site will rarely make immediately clear is that users who press the button will enable the page's push notifications.

If Euprefectoring succeeds in its goal, it will receive the browser permissions it requires to start delivering unwanted advertisements to the user's device. The generated advertisements could easily be used as promotional materials for additional, untrustworthy destinations - fake giveaways, phishing tactics, technical support schemes, shady age-restricted pages, etc. Users also may be presented with advertisements for invasive adware, browser hijackers or PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) masquerading as legitimate software products.
