Threat Database Browser Hijackers Todaysdailyreports.com

Todaysdailyreports.com

Todaysdailyreports.com is a fake website promoted by various Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) with features to display banners and advertisements on the user's computer and modify the installed browser's homepage and default search engine. When a PUP launches this website, an alert appears on the users' screens, which asks them to confirm they wish to receive browser notifications from Todaysdailyreports.com. This alert is misleading because it creates the illusion that some video content will be played if the "Allow" button is clicked. What happens, however, after clicking on that button, is that the affected device will be flooded by an overwhelming number of promotional pop-ups, banners, bogus offers, online surveys, and other potentially harmful advertising messages.

Users affected by this tactic should be aware that any content presented by Todaysdailyreports.com can have scripts that redirect to potentially unsafe websites or install malware on their PCs directly. The permission to this unsafe website send notifications can be deleted from the settings of the affected browser. On the other hand, the PUP responsible for the redirects to Todaysdailyreports.com can be cleared through a professional anti-malware program. Researchers recommend doing that as quickly as possible, as many PUPs have data-tracking features, in addition to their other functionalities. The collected user's data often lands in cybercriminals' hands, resulting in severe privacy issues and even identity theft.
