What is Iusoattracte.xyz ads?

Iusoattracte.xyz is a bogus website that uses social engineering to trick people into accepting spam

Pop-up ad spam sites are created to generate revenue for crooks

Iusoattracte.xyz is a spam website that was made by crooks. In order to deceive users into signing up for push notifications, it employs social engineering techniques.^[1] In order to access a video and verify that they are not robots, users must click the “Allow” button. However, spam is ultimately what takes place.

Even when the browser is closed, annoying pop-up advertisements begin to appear on the screen. Unfortunately, fraudsters may employ shady advertising networks to place advertisements for risky websites. People may land on websites that attempt to entice them into disclosing personal information or deceive them into downloading malware or PUPs (potentially unwanted programs).^[2]

Users frequently complain about seeing advertisements for adult websites, fraudulent antivirus bargains, software offers, surveys, and giveaways. That is why it is crucial to turn off the advertising as soon as you can, especially if other people are using the same computer.

Distribution methods

Search results hardly ever include push notification spam pages made by scammers. Typically, they are concealed on other dubious, unregulated websites. Deceptive advertisements and sneaky redirects abound on such pages. As an example, fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that open new pages as advertisements may be seen on illegal streaming websites.

It is therefore best to only go to websites you are familiar with and confident in. Even if they appear to be promoting trustworthy products, avoid clicking on random links and advertisements. Social engineering could be used by fraudsters to entice you. Going to the source directly is always preferable.

Adware infections

The ads might not always be the result of a single malicious website. It might be the result of adware^[3] infection. Pop-ups, banners, and redirects are just a few examples of commercial content that is displayed on the computer more frequently thanks to advertising-supported software.

PUPs like this are most frequently distributed via freeware distribution channels. For software installations, we advise sticking to official web stores and developer websites. Additionally, always check the file list and select “Custom” or “Advanced” installation options. Any unrelated applications should have their checkboxes removed.

If you experience redirects, or pop-up spam frequently, check your device for adware

Cookies and cache

Nowadays, almost every website asks you to consent to cookie^[4] usage. There is a good chance you were browsing through dubious pages that might still be tracking your browsing activity because you encountered pop-up spam from a fake website.
