During their investigation into suspicious websites, cybersecurity researchers came across News-secora.cc, a rogue webpage designed with the sole purpose of generating browser notification spam and redirecting users to other potentially untrustworthy sites.
Access to News-secora.cc and similar pages typically occurs through redirects initiated by websites employing rogue advertising networks. However, users may also stumble upon these pages through intrusive ads, spam notifications, mistyped URLs, or the presence of adware installed on their devices.

News-secora.cc may Flood Users with Intrusive Advertisements and Notifications
Rogue websites often tailor their behavior based on the geolocations of visitors, meaning the content encountered on these sites can vary accordingly.
During the examination by researchers, News-secora.cc presented a message instructing visitors to click on an 'Allow' button to proceed, claiming that a browser check was underway. The site repeatedly emphasized this instruction, implying that granting permission for browser notifications was necessary to access its content. However, if a visitor complies and allows News-secora.cc to display notifications, they are likely to be bombarded with advertisements. These notifications often promote online scams, unreliable software, and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
In summary, by interacting with websites like News-secora.cc, users expose themselves to potential system infections, significant privacy concerns, financial losses, and the risk of identity theft.
How to Stop the Unwanted Notifications Generated by Rogue Sites and Unverified Sources?
To prevent unwanted notifications generated by rogue sites and unverified sources, users can take several proactive measures:
- Review Browser Settings: Check your browser settings to manage notifications. Most present-day browsers allow users to control which websites can send notifications. Disable notifications for suspicious or unknown sites.
- Block Pop-ups: Enable the built-in pop-up blocker feature in your browser to prevent pop-ups from rogue sites. This can usually be found in the browser settings or preferences menu.
- Install Ad Blockers: Consider installing ad-blocking browser extensions or software. These tools can effectively block intrusive ads and pop-ups from appearing on web pages, reducing the risk of encountering rogue sites.
- Stay Updated: Maintain your browser and operating system updated and make sure to apply the latest security patches and updates to them. This helps protect against vulnerabilities that rogue sites may exploit to deliver unwanted notifications.
- Be Cautious with Permissions: Exercise caution when granting permissions to websites, especially when prompted to allow notifications. Only grant permissions to trusted and verified websites.
- Use Security Software: Install reputable anti-malware software on your device. These applications can help detect and remove malicious software, including adware and browser hijackers, that may be responsible for generating unwanted notifications.
- Clear Browser Data: Periodically clear your browser cache, cookies, and browsing history to remove any data that may be used by rogue sites to track your activity and deliver targeted notifications.
By implementing these strategies, users can effectively block unwanted notifications generated by rogue sites and unverified sources, thereby enhancing their online security and privacy.
