Extrasafe.xyz

The Extrasafe.xyz site is a fraudulent Web page that targets iOS users.

If an iPhone user launches the Extrasafe.xyz page, they will be presented with a bogus pop-up window, which displays a fake report. The report would state that the user’s iPhone has been compromised by several different threats. The bogus report uses several social engineering techniques to pressure the user. It states that unless the user takes immediate measures, their iPhone may be seriously damaged. The pop-up has a five-minute countdown, which goes on further to intimidate and pressure the targeted user. Of course, the fraudulent prompt offers to help the user resolve the inexistent issues. There is a ‘Repair Now’ button, which the user is urged to click on in order to prevent any permanent damage on their iPhone. The good news is that none of the claims of the Extrasafe.xyz site are true. This is a tactic, and you should know that no website can accurately determine the health of your mobile device or computer.

Users who have clicked on the ‘Repair Now’ button report to have been redirected to applications like the Fireblocker utility and the Globe VPN-Internet Security app. It is likely that the developers of these apps are working in cooperation with the administrators of the Extrasafe.xyz site, who are getting paid whenever a user installs one of the suggested applications.

If you come across the Extrasafe.xyz Web page, the best approach is to ignore its contents and close it.
