Users that encounter the Read-new-post.com website should be careful. This page's sole reason for existing is to deliver dubious content to its visitors, while also trying to trick them into enabling its push notifications. To achieve its purpose, Read-new-post.com utilizes misleading and clickbait messages.

For example, the page could show a video that is apparently encountering some playback issues. The site will then generate a pop-up window claiming that to see the content, users must click the shown 'Play' button. Unrelated to this message, the site also will try to convince users to press the 'Allow' button, as well. The messages it may display could be a variation of:

'Your Video Is Ready. Press Play to start the video'

'Press Allow to watch the video'

If users follow the instructions, they could trigger redirects to questionable pages or give important browser permissions to Read-new-post.com, as part of the push notifications feature. The site will promptly abuse both of these variants to generate advertisements promoting dubious sites. One confirmed notification generated by Read-new-post.com was dedicated to the promotion of a site running a variant of the '$500 Amazon Gift Card' scheme.
