Worthyrid.com may have the word worthy in its name, but users who have landed on the page will soon discover that it offers little in terms of worthwhile content. This shouldn't come as a surprise - the page exists to perform a browser-based tactic solely and to cause unwanted redirects to other dubious websites.

It should be noted that what users see on the page could be contingent on various factors, such as their IP address, geolocation, browser type and possibly more. Infosec researchers have confirmed that one of the false scenarios utilized by Worthyrid.com involves showing a video window. The page implies that there is a problem with displaying the video and, to access it, users should press the shown 'Allow' window. It could also imply that users need to pass a CAPTCHA check by showing messages similar to:

'Click 'Allow' to confirm that you are not a robot'

The ultimate goal of the site is to lure users into clicking the button and unknowingly enabling its push notification services. Afterward, the page will be able to deliver various unwanted and intrusive advertisements via the affected browsers.

Typically, the advertisements will promote other untrustworthy sites that could be running fake giveaways, online schemes, phishing tactics, or even spreading software products that turn out to be thinly-veiled PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), such as adware and browser hijackers.
