What is Mous6.biz ads?

Mous6.biz asks to enable notifications to later send malicious ads directly to the screen

Mous6.biz is a fake website that asks users to enable notifications so that ads could be forwarded directly to their desktops

Mous6.biz is a potentially dangerous website you might encounter when surfing the web. It belongs to the category of websites that use various social engineering^[1] tricks in order to make people perform actions they would not otherwise perform. In this case, website authors show misleading messages to encourage people to click the “Allow” button within the notification prompt showing upon website entry.

Once that is done, users do not usually notice many changes to their browsers or systems and are instead redirected back to Mous6.biz or similar push notification scam sites, such as Kingwithea.xyz or Inancukan.xyz. Usually, people just forget about the ordeal and continue with their daily routine, only to see intrusive and suspicious Mous6.biz pop-ups.

These are shown on top of all the other applications or programs currently running at the time and could also take people out of fullscreen mode, which can be quite intrusive. The main danger lies within the advertisement links that are shown within, though, as they are usually unsafe. Users might be told that their systems are infected and that they need to download a “removal tool” that would actually be a potentially unwanted or malicious program.

Do not interact with these pop-ups in any way, or you might infect your system with malware, disclose your personal data to cybercriminals, or lose money to useless services that would charge your credit card automatically weekly or monthly. Instead, use the instructions at the bottom to remove Mous6.biz ads for good.

How does the scam work?

Since users end up on push notification scam websites by accident, it adds to people's confusion quite a bit. Frankly, it plays a major role in the scam scheme, as users are then immediately presented with two unexpected elements – a push notification prompt that asks if notifications should be enabled and a correlating picture and a message in the background, encouraging them to press the “Allow” button.

Here, users are given a reason to follow the instructions and, thanks to the misleading nature of the messages, some users might find it convincing enough:

• Please tap Allow to continue
• Download is ready. Click Allow to download your file
• Click Allow if you are not a robot
• Can't play this video! Perhaps your browser doesn't allow video playback. Please click the Allow button to watch the video, etc.

Redirects to Mous6.biz might be a sign of adware infection

These messages are crafted in a way so that users would perceive the permission to show notifications as something completely different. For that, they use popular social engineering techniques where they try to confuse users with features that are very familiar to them, e.g., the robot one tries to imitate a legitimate verification process similar to a captcha used to protect websites from harmful DDoS^[2] attacks.

Even if you were tricked by these messages, the good news is that it is completely reversible. You can follow the steps below to stop the intrusive push notifications easily.
