Xtrasuper3.xyz is yet another push notification scam site users encounter accidentally while browsing the web. In most cases, the encounter is relatively brief, and due to lack of activity, people forget about it very soon. They are soon reminded of the URL after they start seeing suspicious pop-ups showing op at the top or bottom corner of their screens. They don't get triggered by user actions, which makes them baffled about this unusual phenomenon.

The truth is, if you see Xtrasuper3.xyz ads, you must have enabled push notifications from the site. You have been shown a fake message and a background picture, which might have made a lot of sense at the time. If you have clicked the “Allow” button within the notification prompt, you were a victim of a scam, which enabled the site to send you ads.

Push notification scams are one of the most common online fraud types you could encounter while browsing the web. Just recently, we have covered News-ropaki.cc, Notificationsworld.com, and Gate40.xyz, fake websites that operate in the exact same manner. In this instance, we are talking about the newest addition to the bunch – Xtrasuper3.xyz.

Phishing content online

It is true that the internet has become a much more safe place in comparison to what it used to be twenty years ago, thanks to various security regulations that were implemented over time. However, it is still very vast, and it is impossible to moderate it fully. That's why fraudulent online content is still something regular users have to deal with sometimes.

Social engineering^[1] and phishing are one of the most common tactics used by cybercriminals for various malicious purposes. For example, spoofing websites are created to look exactly the same as their original counterparts, with an URL that is very similar to the original. Without paying too much attention, users might give away their account details to crooks.

The incentive of online fraud is mostly financial benefits. Hackers and fraudsters can acquire revenue in various ways, although advertising is the most common method. Ransomware,^[2] for example, can be used to extort money from users directly after it locks all personal files on the computer.

Push notification scam techniques

Among all the scams in the wild, push notification scams are extremely prevalent, although not as dangerous as tech support ones, for example. They should not be dismissed, despite being relatively less malicious.

In order for ta push notification scam to succeed, crooks create fake websites online, for example, Xtrasuper3.xyz. Users then happen to access them after being redirected from somewhere else (clicking a fake link on a high-risk website is the most likely cause) or when adware is running in the background of their machines.

Unexpected messages can be easily misinterpreted by visitors, and doing what crooks are asking for might make sense. These are a few scam message examples you might face after entering the Xtrasuper3.xyz or another similar site:

• Click “Allow” to win a prize and get it in our shop!
• Press “Allow” to verify, that 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
• Click “Allow” to start downloading
• Please tap Allow to continue, etc.

Xtrasuper3.xyz tricks users by showing fake messages and then shows ads using push notifications API

As soon as the “Allow” button is pressed, users are forwarded to other suspicious websites, and the promised video or other content is nowhere to be found. Confused, users typically forget about this incident, only to later find out that their desktops are being filled with strange pop-ups.
