Websiteshove.com is a mostly empty website that users are highly unlikely to visit intentionally. This fact should not come as a surprise because the page is solely dedicated to the proliferation of a browser-based scheme. By utilizing various clickbait and social-engineering tactics, the site tries to manipulate users into enabling its push notifications.

These hoax sites can try to create various false impressions to hide their true goals. The most widespread fake scenario, and one employed by Websiteshove.com as well, involves the dubious page claiming to be performing a CAPTCHA check for bots. Typically, users will be presented with an image containing a robot and a message similar to:

'Click Allow if you are not a robot'

Other possibilities include the site claiming that a video is encountering playback issues that can be resolved by clicking 'Allow' or that the button will grant users access to additional content.

If successful, Websiteshove.com will abuse the browser permissions associated with the otherwise legitimate push notification feature to deliver unwanted advertisements to users. The advertisements are likely to be as untrustworthy as the page itself. They may be promoting more online tactics, phishing schemes, adult-oriented platforms, betting sites and more. In addition, Websiteshove.com could cause unwanted redirects that lead to other dubious sites. For example, infosec researchers have confirmed a redirect to a page offering users to download a driver updater application.
