What is news-fedaka.cc?
News-fedaka.cc is a malicious website that utilizes a clickbait tactic to trick users into allowing notifications. This permission is then utilized to show copious amounts of advertisements to said users. To be more specific, the website consists of a fake video player, a text saying “Click Allow to watch the video”, and, of course, the prompt to show notifications. The spammers hope that an inattentive user would just automatically click “Allow” without realizing that they’re allowing the website to “notify” them. In addition, after agreeing to notifications, the users are redirected to another website that also prompts the user to allow notifications. So if you’re receiving news-fedaka.cc spam, you may also be receiving spam from yousweeps.com. The advertisements these websites show are also fraudulent in nature – they seem to revolve around easy ways to make ridiculous amounts of money online. You don’t need to be a fancy threat analyst to tells these are scams, but, just to be sure – these are all scams. Another thing to note is that those deceptive websites often have names like this one, starting with “news”, then several random letters, then “.cc”. For example, news-hoyisa.cc and news-hetayi.cc are also spam websites. You should be suspicious of websites like this in the future and do not give them the permission to send you notifications. But what should you do to make your computer stop telling you about “wonderful opportunities to earn $500 in 10 minutes without leaving your house” right now? Thankfully, it is very easy to remove news-fedaka.cc notifications.
