Yoursecuritydatabase.com, despite its name, doesn't provide any content or service related to data security to its visitors. This is not an unexpected outcome, as the page exists for the sole purpose of running a browser-based tactic. Users who land on it will encounter various misleading and false messages that will try to convince them to press the displayed 'Allow' button.

Typically, sites dedicated to the proliferation of this particular scheme create the impression that clicking the button is part of a CAPTCHA check, users will gain access to age-restricted content or a video will become accessible for streaming. Yoursecuritydatabase.com also has been confirmed to use another tactic. It will pretend as if an unspecified audio file cannot be downloaded unless users click on 'Allow.' The displayed message could be similar to:

'Click Allow to start downloading'

If the site is successful, it will receive important browser permissions that will enable it to start running an annoying advertisement campaign. Users could notice a significant increase in the advertisements encountered while browsing. More importantly, the advertisements could be promoting additional, questionable and untrustworthy destinations, such as fake giveaways, phishing schemes or online betting portals. The advertisements also may try to convince users to download what is presented as useful applications. Once installed on the system, the promoted software product often turns out to be adware, browser hijackers or other intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
