Users will not get any meaningful content or receive any benefit from landing on Shortblue.site. After all, the purpose of the website is completely different. It is solely dedicated to generating monetary gains for its operators via a popular browser-based tactic. Under various false pretenses, deceptive websites such as this one try to convince their visitors into clicking the displayed 'Allow' button. Of course, the manipulative messages do not reveal that doing so will subscribe the user to that page's push notification services.
The most widely used tactic employed as part of this specific scheme is for the website to act as if it is performing a CAPTCHA check. Other commonly encountered scenarios include claiming that a file will become available for download or that some video clip will become accessible. Some examples of deceitful messages shown to users include:
'Press 'Allow' to verify that you are not a robot'
'To watch video, click 'Allow'
'File is ready. Click 'Allow' to download.'
After Shortblue.site has received the necessary browser permissions, it will proceed to generate numerous unwanted advertisements. The advertisements will be detrimental to the normal browsing experience on the device, but, more importantly, they could be promoting suspicious software products, PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), phishing pages and other shady websites.
