Hutters.click is a dubious website trying to take advantage of its visitors via various clickbait tactics and misleading messages. Typically, questionable websites like Hutters.click are encountered as a result of forced redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) installed on the user's computer or device. It is important to remember that some rogue websites can modify their behavior based on the user's specific IP address and geolocation.
When examined by infosec researchers, Hutters.click was observed propagating a popular browser-based tactic. The site aims to exploit the legitimate push notifications feature to deliver intrusive advertisements to users and generate monetary gains for its operators in the process. In the vast majority of cases, sites pushing this scheme will urge users to press the displayed 'Allow' button under various pretenses.
For example, the rogue website may claim that users must press the button as part of a CAPTCHA check. Another popular scenario implies that by pressing 'Allow' users will gain access to an online video. Hutters.click hides the true functionality of the button by claiming that it will result in a file becoming available for download. The shown message could be similar to 'Click 'Allow' to start downloading.'
If successful, the site will obtain the browser permissions it requires to start generating intrusive advertisements on the user's device, The advertisements could appear as banners, pop-ups, notifications, etc. More importantly, they frequently promote untrustworthy destinations, such as fake giveaways, phishing schemes, invasive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) disguised as seemingly legitimate applications, etc.
