Webpushdirect.biz exists solely to perform a popular browser-based tactic. Exactly like the countless other websites of this type, it also tries to take advantage of the otherwise legitimate push notifications browser feature. The crux of the scheme involves showing visitors various misleading or deceptive messages and trying to lure them into unknowingly enabling the page's push notification.
Arguably the most frequently employed false scenario sees the dubious page pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check. Another popular option, and one that Webpushdirect.biz has been confirmed to use, consists of displaying a video window. Users will then be led to believe that an issue is preventing the video from being displayed. The message shown by Webpushdirect.biz could be similar to:
'Press Allow to watch the video'
After obtaining the necessary browser permissions, Webpushdirect.biz will proceed to run an annoying and intrusive advertisement campaign. Users may be flooded by unwanted and untrustworthy ads promoting additional scam pages, fake giveaways, shady adult-oriented platforms, etc. The ads could also contain offers to download and install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) masquerading as useful applications
