Is Listentoyoutube.cc Safe?

Listentoyoutube.cc tries to attract visitors by providing them with the ability to convert YouTube videos into a .mp3 file. Even if we set aside the fact that downloading YouTube clips with explicit permissions could be considered illegal, there are other risks that must be taken into account when deciding to visit the page.

The website utilizes a rogue advertising network to generate revenues. As such, users may be presented with inappropriate advertisements containing adult content, offers to download dubious applications, promotions for shady third-party pages that could be running online scams, phishing schemes, fake giveaways and more.

The site also causes unwanted pages to appear. More specifically, Listentoyoutube.cc opens a deceptive page at masstech.info. This particular site runs a popular browser-based tactic, where it tries to convince users to subscribe to its push notifications unknowingly, under the guise of a fake CAPTCHA check.

Listentoyoutube.cc itself has been observed by infosec researchers to promote a questionable application. The page causes a pop-up to appear, which contains a message to 'Install Free App.' There are no guarantees that the delivered program will not turn out to be just another PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) with adware or browser hijacker capabilities.
