News-wuweci.cc is a fake website trying to convince people click the "Allow" button to show them malicious push notifications

Many computer users have recently reported receiving News-wuweci.cc ads showing up out of nowhere, and you may be wondering why you're seeing them too.

These pop-ups cause because you permitted the site to send push notifications to your device at some point. If you don't recall giving permission, it's not surprising - phishing messages are often used to trick people into doing so without realizing it.

For instance, people searching for software cracks to get around Windows or other common software licensing procedures run the risk of being diverted to fraudulent websites and getting their systems infected with destructive malware, such as ransomware which would encrypt all personal files and then demand ransom for their recovery.

Week-tale.xyz, Garnly.com, or Conatysystems.com are just a few examples that employ identical messages and images to convince people to subscribe. Since users have previously dealt with verification methods such as captcha, they might not think twice and consider it just another such check.
