Threat Database Rogue Websites Systemupdati.xyz

Systemupdati.xyz

Systemupdati.xyz is a misleading website targeted at Apple users and more specifically those with iPhone devices. The dubious site uses scare tactics that are common for these hoax pages. It pretends to be delivering a legitimate warning message from Apple, regarding a security issue with the user's device. Of course, none of the claims made by these shady sites are true and users should disregard them completely.

Infosec researchers have observed Systemupdati.xyz running three different scenarios. The first one tries to scare users into downloading and installing a supposed security application. The site claims to have detected numerous malware threats on the user's device and only the promoted application will be able to deal with them. The next scheme involves Systemupdati.xyz trying to convince its visitors that the data on their iPhones have been compromised after visiting unsafe sites. To keep their browsing safe, users are urged to install a dubious VPN client. Finally, Systemupdati.xyz may show fake warning messages stating that users have to update to the latest security application to increase the security of their iPhones.

No matter which scenario you encounter, none of the displayed statements should be taken seriously. They are either outright false or include misleading information aimed at promoting a specific application, typically a barely-functional and highly-intrusive PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program).
