Poweaniart.com is a deceptive website, whose main goal is to take advantage of its visitors. The site itself is likely to lack any useful content, making the chances of users intentionally deciding to open it practically non-existent. Instead, rogue pages like this one are typically encountered as a result of forced redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
Infosec researchers warn users that the exact lure messages they may see on Poweaniart.com could vary. Many unsafe websites are capable of scanning the incoming IP addresses, as a way to determine users' geolocations and then adjust the fake scenarios they show. Some of the messages that have been observed on Poweaniart.com include:
'I’m not a robot'
'Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot'
The page creates the impression that visitors must pass a supposed CAPTCHA check to access the site's content. Instead, following the instructions and pressing the button will grant important browser permissions to the rogue page. Users are likely to begin receiving intrusive advertisements generated by the site. In addition, pressing 'Allow' could trigger redirects to additional, questionable destinations, which could include fake giveaways, phishing tactics, technical support schemes, suspicious online betting or gaming platforms, etc.
