What is News-xopume.cc ads?

News-xopume.cc is a fake site crafted by fraudsters to earn money from pay-per-click advertising

News-xopume.ccFraudsters generate income from every ad you click on

News-xopume.cc is a fraudulent website set up by crooks to monetize user activity. It employs social engineering techniques to trick people into clicking the “Allow” button, which subscribes them to push notifications. Users begin to receive annoying pop-up ads, which can appear even when the browser is closed.

Rogue advertising networks may place the ads, which may lead to dangerous websites. People may end up on scam pages that attempt to obtain personal information or trick them into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[1] or malware.

NAME News-xopume.cc
TYPE Push notification spam; adware
SYMPTOMS Pop-up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen after the “Allow” button is pressed
DISTRIBUTION Shady websites, deceptive ads, redirects, freeware installations
DANGERS Links embedded in the push notifications can lead to dangerous websites where users can be tricked into providing their personal information and suffer from monetary losses
ELIMINATION Users can block push notifications via browser settings
FURTHER STEPS It is recommended to use a repair tool like FortectIntego after the removal to fix any remaining damage

Social engineering

There are thousands of similar sites that use the same pay-per-click advertising tactics to generate revenue. We previously discussed pages such as Ptilselr.com, Toppillarrect.com, and Webuddingroup.com. The following deceptive messages are frequently encountered by users:

Type Allow to verify that you are not a robot
Click Allow to watch the video
Download is ready. Click Allow to download your file
Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot

Some people may be reminded of the CAPTCHA verification process. A legitimate human verification step, on the other hand, should never prompt you to choose between “Block” and “Allow” on a browser prompt. Typically, people are asked to identify specific objects in photographs or simply check a box.

Distribution methods

Typically, push notification spam pages like News-xopume.cc hide behind deceptive ads and sneaky redirects in other shady sites. Unregulated websites that engage in illegal activities are especially dangerous. They are littered with fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that can open new tabs with malicious websites.

That is why you should avoid visiting unknown pages. Legitimate streaming services, such as Netflix or Hulu, are far safer than illegal streaming platforms.[2] Do not click on random links or advertisements, even if they appear to promote legitimate products and services.

Cookies and cache

It is strongly advised that you clear your browsers after encountering News-xopume.cc. Websites and web-based applications can collect data such as your IP address, geolocation, websites you visit, links you click on, and items you buy online using various tracking technologies. All of this is accomplished through the use of cookies and cache.

These small data files aren't necessarily bad. Legitimate websites employ them to personalize the user experience by displaying relevant results, for example. They can, however, be used to generate revenue by selling them to ad networks and other third parties. This problem has an automatic solution – FortectIntego. With the click of a button, this powerful software can halt tracking, delete existing data, and repair serious system errors.

The possibility of adware infection

PUPs can also cause unwanted browser behavior. Pages like News-xopume.cc can appear without any user input at all. Adware,[3] which is a program that generates commercial content in the machine without the users' knowledge, can cause this. Many of them are disguised as “useful” tools, making them more difficult to detect for average users.

That is why professional security tools such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are essential. A computer without an antivirus is analogous to a house without a door. Anti-malware software can scan the machine for suspicious processes that are running in the background. Furthermore, it can prevent such infections by alerting users when dangerous files attempt to enter the system.

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.
