Ourhugenews.com is an untrustworthy Web page that users are highly unlikely to open on their own. Hoax sites of this type are typically encountered as a result of forced redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) lurking inside users' devices.

The goal of Ourhugenews.com appears to be to lure users into subscribing to its push notifications. This is a popular browser-based tactic that is being proliferated by countless rogue websites. The specific scenario that users see after visiting the page may change, depending on their specific IP address and geolocation. For example, one of the most commonly used fake scenarios sees the dubious site pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check. Ourhugenews.com has been observed displaying a message similar to:

'Click the 'Allow' button to subscribe to the push notification and continue watching'

The problem with the advertisements generated by such unproven sources, besides being a constant distraction and interrupting any other activities carried on the device, is that they are likely to promote questionable pages, services or applications. Users risk seeing advertisements for phishing schemes, technical support tactics, fake giveaways, suspicious online gambling/betting sites or PUPs disguised as seemingly legitimate applications.
