Spotcontent.ru is a dubious Web page designed specifically to deliver questionable content to users. It employs manipulative social-engineering tactics to trick visitors into subscribing to its push notification services. This particular browser-based tactic has been rather popular and countless deceptive websites, virtually indistinguishable from Spotcontent.ru, have already been put on the Internet.
These misleading pages may pretend to be doing a CAPTCHA check for bots or that by clicking the displayed 'Allow' button, users will gain access to additional content. The exact text of the messages may be a variation of:
'To access the video, click Allow'
'Click Allow to verify that you are not a robot'
'Download is ready.'
'Click Allow to download your file'
Users who fall for the tactic will be subjected to countless unwanted and intrusive advertisements. At this point, closing the browser itself will have no impact, as the con website will be able to continue delivering its dubious advertisements. Keep in mind that the advertisements delivered by Spotcontent.ru should not be trusted. They may redirect users to unsafe third-party websites. The destinations may include phishing pages trying to obtain sensitive private information, domains spreading PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or even compromised sites delivering serious malware threats.
