When visiting a site named Expocaptcha.top, you may be tricked by a message asking you to press an 'Allow" button to watch certain content or before you can use a specific property of the site. In the case of Expocaptcha.top, it demands you to click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a machine. However, the actual result of the user clicking the 'Allow' button is that the Expocaptcha.top site will be allowed to display its push notifications.
Allowing this misleading site to send its notifications, your desktop will be flooded with unsolicited notifications, which in reality are unwanted advertisements promoting online tactics, unsafe browser extensions, phishing sites, and more. Con artists find out that push notifications can bypass ad-blocker, which allows them to deliver their sponsored advertisements freely.
Expocaptcha.to is classified as a browser hijacker and, although it does not endangers an affected machine, the consequences of having it inside a computer may have problematic effects. This is why security experts recommend removing such applications as quickly as possible.
