Landing on a page named Systemsecuritys.com would naturally make you think that you are going to get important security advice and suggestions. Unfortunately, in this case, the name is simply another element of the tactic performed by the site. Indeed, systemsecuritys.com is another dubious page that exploits the legitimate push notifications browser gesture to earn money for its operators via an intrusive ad campaign.

Users who land on the page are likely to be presented with a fake scenario that, under various pretenses, will instruct them to click 'Allow.' For example, cybersecurity researchers have confirmed that the page may pretend to be a social dating platform where visitors could potentially find like-minded dates. Another scenario, more commonly encountered on these hoax websites, consists of imitating a CAPTCHA check with the unsuspecting visitors directed towards pressing the 'Allow' button to prove that they are not robots.

Once users click the button, they would become flooded with dubious advertisements generated by the untrustworthy page. The advertisements could promote additional online tactics, phishing sites, fake giveaways, etc. Furthermore, the advertisements could abuse similar clickbait tactics to promote intrusive browser hijackers, adware, or other types of PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), by presenting them as seemingly legitimate applications.
