Threat Database Browser Hijackers Expensivesurvey.live

Expensivesurvey.live

Expensivesurvey.live is a dubious site designed to deliver questionable content to its visitors. The exact behavior of the page is most likely based on factors, such as the user's geolocation. The site determines this by scanning the incoming IP addresses. It can then show questionable content on its own page or cause redirects to other shady places. Sites such as Expensivesurvey.live usually also try to trick users into subscribing to their push notification services.

Infosec researchers have observed Expensivesurvey.com employing clickbait schemes to get its visitors to fill out a survey that will supposedly show them a way to make money on the Internet. Following the instructions displayed on suspicious sites is risky and should be avoided at all costs. This also applies to Expensivesurvey.com's suggestion to click the 'Allow' button. 

Users who press the button will allow the site to run an intrusive advertising campaign. The unwanted advertisements could impact the browsing experience on the device severely and may continue to appear even if the affected browser itself has been completely shut down. Furthermore, the generated advertisements could easily employ the same deceptive tactics to lead users to other suspicious sites that might be running online tactics, phishing schemes, spreading PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or even malware threats.
