The Videofileconvertpro.xyz website, despite its name, appears to lack any video conversion features. Instead, infosec researchers have determined that it is yet another untrustworthy page that tries to take advantage of its visitors. It joins the countless other equally dubious sites that exploit the legitimate push notifications browser feature.
When users land on a site running this tactic, they will be presented with various misleading or outright false messages. The page is trying to lure users into pressing the displayed 'Allow' button without revealing its true intentions. The messages could create the impression that users must pass a CAPTCHA check before accessing the content of the site. Videofileconvertpro.xyz also could pretend that a video is encountering playback issues. In this case, the accompanying messages will most likely be a variation of:
'Click Allow to watch the video'
'To watch, press Allow'
When users press the button, they will enable the page's push notifications. Afterward, Videofileconvertpro.xyz will be able to run an intrusive advertising campaign, delivering numerous unwanted and untrustworthy advertisements. Users are likely to be presented with offers for invasive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) described as useful and convenient software products. Interacting with the advertisements also could trigger forced redirects leading to additional unsafe destinations, shady online betting platforms, phishing schemes and more.
