Myhypestories.com, despite its name, doesn't provide its visitors with any stories at all, let alone hype ones. Instead, it leverages various clickbait and social-engineering tactics against its visitors, to lure them into its push notification services. Indeed, Myhypestories.com is yet another con website that exploits the otherwise legitimate push notifications browser feature to run an intrusive and annoying advertising campaign on the user's devices.
The exact scenario that the site chooses to employ may vary from user to user, based on a combination of factors - IP address, geolocation, browser type and possibly more. However, one confirmed variation sees the site display a progress bar that is stuck due to some issue. Accompanying it will be a message similar to:
'Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications and continue watching'
As a consequence of granting the site these important browser permissions, users will start seeing various questionable and dubious advertisements. The advertisements could lead to similar hoax websites or promote different places running fake giveaways, phishing schemes, adult-oriented platforms, or spreading PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) with adware, browser hijacker, data-tracking or other invasive functionalities.
