'Privacysecurity.info' Pop-Ups

By GoldSparrow in Adware

Privacysecurity.info is a dubious website that may be used to host a large number of bogus pop-ups, alerts, and fake messages whose goal may be to convince innocent users that their computer's health is worse than they thought. The goal of this action is to trick the users into contacting the technical support team promoted by Privacysecurity.info. However, what users might not know is that the tech support team related to Privacysecurity.info is, in fact, a part of a well-known online scam whose goal may be to steal money, personal details or other private data from unsuspecting users.

The Privacysecurity.info pop-ups may show when the user visits a compromised website, but it is entirely possible that adware and other cyber threats may also be used to distribute the bogus Privacysecurity.info pop-ups. Users who see these pop-ups may receive notifications that their PC's health is in danger, or that core Windows files are corrupted. The perpetrators of the attack may come up with a broad range of bogus messages, so it is nearly impossible to list all plausible scenario. It goes without saying that the Privacysecurity.info pop-ups are not to be trusted, and you should perform a full virus scan on your computer if you see them.
