Do you experience ads from Catchynews.net popups on your computer, phone, or tablet? If you see Catchynews.net advertisements, you have accepted push notifications.
Push notifications are notifications that are displayed through your web browser. Deceptive websites like Catchynews.net try to convince you to click the allow button in your browser.
This Catchynews.net website displays notifications such as “click allow to continue,” “click to verify if you are not a robot” or “click allow to download file.” The notification is a social engineering trick and is only used to mislead you.
If you have accepted the notifications, advertisements are shown that will try to make you click on the ad again. If you click on the announcement, the browser will open and redirect you to a dangerous website. These ads are associated with adware.
Adware is software specifically designed to steal browser data from your computer.
This web browsing data is eventually sold by cybercriminals to make money from it.
If you see the Catchynews.net pop-ups in your browser, I recommend that you remove the notifications by Catchynews.net to prevent further malware infections.
