There are countless variants of this tactic, which may lead victims to low-quality search engines like Luckysite123.com. This website offers various supposed 'features,' which may be designed to generate revenue at the expense of the computer user and offer no useful service that the victim would not be able to get without the added inconvenience of having to deal with Luckysite123.com's associated browser hijacker.
