Politicosta.biz is a dubious website used by its operators as a vehicle for online schemes. As with most websites of this type, users are highly unlikely to open Politicosta.biz willingly and will typically land on the page as a result of forced redirects. The cause of the redirects could be a previously visited page using rogue advertising networks or an intrusive PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that may be lurking inside the user's device.
Cybersecurity experts have observed Politicosta.biz trying to lure its visitors into unknowingly enabling its push notifications. The goal of the page is to then abuse the browser permissions associated with this feature to generate unwanted advertisements. The exact scenario used by the site to mask its true intentions could vary, based on certain factors, such as the visitor's IP address/geolocation. One option sees the dubious page implying that users must pass a CAPTCHA check. The site may display an image of a robot accompanied by a message similar to:
'Press 'Allow' to verify, that you are not robot'
Pressing the button also could trigger unwanted redirects. Indeed, Politicosta.biz has been observed opening a rogue website running a version of the 'Chrome Search Contest 2022' tactic. These online tactics tend to work as phishing campaigns aimed at obtaining personal information from users or tricking them into paying bogus fees.
