Scam explained: how to avoid being a victim?

Eaddressor.top is not unique in its operation – Yourseismo.top, Uishoaarran.to or News-Burewo.cc are perfect examples or a that. To operate successfully, crooks use various social engineering^[2] tricks designed to fool users into doing something they normally wouldn't (if they knew the extent of their actions). 

Upon entering the site, you are instantly presented with two components of the page – a prompt that asks you to enable notifications and a picture or a message which implies that pressing “Allow” is the right thing to do. In order to make users click on the button website authors want them to, they need to present the feature as something else.

For example, this is one of the most common messages that you might encounter after accessing a push notification scam site:

Click Allow if you are not a robot

Here, crooks want to make it seem like the prompt is a simple verification that many of us encountered when visiting legitimate websites. Captcha codes are one such example. It is used to protect websites from flooding them with connections of bots, crashing them in the process.

Alternatively, you could be presented with the download prompt, a video about to be played, etc. Anything to make you believe that the “Allow” button is something else. If you encounter such websites in the future, make sure you leave them immediately, as they usually redirect users even further. This way, you might encounter scams like “$1000 Walmart Gift Card Winner” or “Your system is infected with (3) viruses.”

Do not interact with these websites and especially never click on links or download files. If any files are downloaded automatically, remove them immediately.

Ad-blockers are a good way of removing most ads from most websites, although they come with few downfalls. For example, they might sometimes break elements of some sites; they also prevent content creators from monetizing non-intrusive ads that help pay for service fees. The choice is yours, however.

Finally, use adequate software that can help you to detect fraud online. Security programs that use web protection are the best for that. Although keep in mind that scam sites emerge in thousands each day, thus you will never be protected 100%. Exercise caution and be vigilant when browsing the web.

Take care of adware

If you see Eaddressor.top notifications regularly, it does not mean that your browser is infected. However, if you have no idea where these pop-ups are coming from, there is a big chance you might not have noticed how adware managed to slip into your device without asking properly.

The most common symptoms of adware infection include:

• Intrusive ads on all visited websites
• Strange browser redirects to questionable places
• Altered browser settings
• New extensions or programs present on the computer
• Slower browser operation, etc.

While most adware applications are not malicious and specialize in displaying ads, others can be quite dangerous, to the point where they can be called spyware or malware. Examples of such instances include the notorious Wajam campaign, as well as Lenovo's Superfish scandal, which resulted in the company paying millions in fines^[3] due to the comptonization of user online security.

In any case, if you want to remove adware, you can do it quickly by employing powerful anti-malware software such as SpyHunterCombo Cleaner or MalwarebytesMalwarebytes. You can also look for suspicious apps manually where all the installed programs are, although this might not always be possible, especially if you have a habit of installing them from third-party sources (adware is commonly spread via software bundle packages, which results in unintentional installation).

You should also not forget to clean your web browsers. You can easily do that with the help of a powerful cleaning tool FortectIntego – it can also repair damaged system components if the damage was sustained due to malware or any other reason. Alternatively, you can delete web data and remove cookies manually. If you still can't get rid of ads and redirects, you can reset browsers altogether.
