What is Gineaersifyo.top pop-up ads?

Gineaersifyo.top – a site created to make money through pay-per-click advertising

Gineaersifyo.topGineaersifyo.top is a rogue website created to collect revenue from pay-per-click ads

There are plenty of fake websites created for the sole purpose of being a passive income source. Gineaersifyo.top is a fake page that tricks users into allowing it to send push notifications. If you give this site permission, you will start getting spammed with commercial content in pop-ups, banners, and redirects.

Creators fool people using social engineering tactics[1] that are commonly used to manipulate users online. In this case, a website shows a message “Download Is Ready click Allow to download your file.” But if you look at the bottom of the page, in smaller letters, it is written, “By continuing your navigation or clicking “Allow,” you accept our terms of use and privacy policy and agree to receive sponsored content.”

There is a page we have previously written about Todiscuassy.top that looks exactly the same and does same things. Usually, users do not stumble on sites like this by their own will. Most commonly, they get redirected from other shady websites. It is likely that users are this easily fooled because they were looking to download something for free that normally has to be paid for. For example, a person wants to watch a movie for free and finds an illegal streaming platform where they see a “Download” button.

Without realizing that the button is fake and actually an ad, a new tab opens where users get redirected to Gineaersifyo.top where they supposedly just have to click “Allow” to receive what they want. Of course, after clicking it, they do not get a movie because this website is completely unrelated to the one they were on. This is where they start experiencing erratic browser behavior and wonder what happened.

Learn to identify fake pages

Although in this day and age, fake websites and scam techniques have gotten more complicated and harder to recognize for an everyday user, there are still some basic things you can focus your attention on to try and avoid unwelcome intruders.

  1. Check the URL: unusual-looking URLs with rarely used extensions like .top, .xyz, .org, .io are indicators of a suspicious website. The reason for this is that domain names with .com are way more expensive. Of course, some scam websites do not want to spend money trying to make the site look legitimate.
  2. Look for a lock: the padlock next to a websites' links means that a site is secured by a TLS/SSL certificate that encrypts user data. You can look for the lock on the upper left of the address bar. Three types of TLS certificates will display a lock: Domain Validation, Organization Validation, and Extended Validation. Most browsers will display a “not secure” warning if a site does not have a lock.
  3. Research: read the privacy policy, look for contact information, inspect if the grammar and spelling on the website are correct. Look for additional information online, read the reviews.
  4. Use a website checker: if you have doubts, use a website checker[2] to verify the security. A secure website check can let you know any vulnerabilities on the site if it uses encryption and what level of verification a site has.

If you click on a fake site:

  • Do not provide any sensitive information like financial details, a login and password, your name, and contact information.
  • Do not click on random links from unfamiliar emails, online posts, or private messages.
  • Please report it to Google Safe Browsing[3] and exit it right away.

Websites track what moves you make online

Cookies are normally used to remember information about users. This information can be used to personalize web pages contents to make them more relevant. Cookies also track the browsing habits of users to identify their interests, hobbies. For this reason, you see ads of the same or similar things you search for in your spare time. If cookies are collected by legitimate and trustworthy sites, there is rarely something you should worry about, that is, of course, if you do not mind them tracking your behavior to make your experience personalized.

Problems arise when websites that belong to shady individuals get permission to track you. Gineaersifyo.top Privacy Policy, which seems to be just copied from another website, without changing a single word, says:

Celebsupdates may share user's information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that the user has given Celebsupdates user's permission. However Celebsupdates does not control such third parties practices and is not liable or responsible for any practices used by these third parties.

They can provide information about you to whoever they want, and they are not liable for anything negative you experience because of third-party activities.

How to prevent from getting adware

Access your website securely from any location

When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address.

If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for the server or network manager that needs to monitor connections and activities. VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world.

 

Recover files after data-affecting malware attacks

While much of the data can be accidentally deleted due to various reasons, malware is one of the main culprits that can cause loss of pictures, documents, videos, and other important files. More serious malware infections lead to significant data loss when your documents, system files, and images get encrypted. In particular, ransomware is is a type of malware that focuses on such functions, so your files become useless without an ability to access them.

Even though there is little to no possibility to recover after file-locking threats, some applications have features for data recovery in the system. In some cases, Data Recovery Pro can also help to recover at least some portion of your data after data-locking virus infection or general cyber infection.
