The Newspoldays.site page is a rogue page running a popular browser-based tactic. These untrustworthy websites rely heavily on misleading or clickbait messages, as a way to lure visitors into enabling their push notifications. The browser permissions associated with this otherwise legitimate browser feature are exploited to deliver unwanted advertisements and notifications to users.

The exact text of the messages shown by Newspoldays.site may vary. Users should keep in mind that many rogue websites adjust their deceptive content to match the geolocation of the visitors by analyzing their IP addresses. One of the scenarios observed on the site consists of several images accompanied by a message such as:

'Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not a robot'

Users are left with the impression that they must pass the supposed CAPTCHA check to access the content of the page. However, typically no such content exists. Instead, pressing the button will subscribe them to the notifications of the site, while also potentially triggering redirects to additional unsafe destinations. For example, Newspoldays.site may cause redirects to a rogue page running fake giveaways.
