Deceptive Messages Exploited by Odestech.com
When visitors arrive on Odestech.com, the website displays a pop-up message that prompts them to click the "Allow" button to access the site's content. The message 'CLick Allow If you are not a robot' and the accompanying image of a robot create the impression that visitors must pass a CAPTCHA check to access the site's content. However, clicking 'Allow' will instead subscribe the user to receive push notifications from the site, even when the user has closed the page.
Odestech.com and similar sites exploit push notifications to deliver unwanted advertisements or redirect users to unsafe content. Additionally, users who allow notifications from these sites expose their devices to potential risks, such as phishing attacks, schemes or potentially even malware.
Stopping the Intrusive Notifications of Rogue Sites Like Odestech.com
To stop unwanted browser notifications generated by rogue websites, users need to access the notification settings of their browser and disable the notifications for the specific website. The steps to access notification settings and disable notifications vary slightly, depending on the browser being used, but it typically involves going to the browser's settings, clicking on 'Privacy and Security' or 'Site Settings,' and then finding the 'Notifications' section. From there, users can search for the website that's sending unwanted notifications and click on the three-dot icon to the right of the website's name. They can then select "Block" or "Remove" to stop notifications from that website.
Some rogue websites use tricks to make it difficult to avoid granting them push notification permissions. For example, they may use pop-ups or dialog boxes that make it appear as though the only way to access content is to click 'Allow' on the notification prompt. In these cases, users should close the window or tab and avoid interacting with the website altogether. They should also consider using an ad blocker or other browser extension to block notifications from rogue websites.
