How to stop Hotnewss.xyz from showing pop-up ads

Block notifications from malicious sites

Hotnewss.xyz uses notifications to display ads. Web push notifications are a sort of message that a website can send to a web browser. You can block websites from being able to send notifications. If you do this for Hotnewss.xyz, it won’t be able to send ads to you anymore. You can still view the site, unfortunately.

1. Open your browser. Open the settings for notifications:
   • Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
   • Edge (Chromium) – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
   • Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
   • Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
2. Find the list called Allowed or find all the sites labeled “Allow”.
3. Find Hotnewss.xyz. There might be multiple entries for it.
4. Click the button next to each entry. Select Block (it’s Deny in Safari).

Do the same for all the sites whose notifications are allowed by your browser but that you don’t wish to hear from.

For example, Hotnewss.xyz promotes Ojn-news1.club, Diokle.pro, Gamblingday.xyz, Rainbowpony.xyz, Recipeday.xyz, etc. Are these and similarly named sites in your list of those that are allowed to send notifications?

Delete malware

Hotnewss.xyz and sites adjacent to it promote crapware, browser hijackers, scams, etc. Scan your computer with an antivirus program, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others.

If you have a mobile device, especially an Android one, it is also important to check it for malware. There are some suspicious APKs associated with Hotnewss.xyz’s IP address – click fraud apps, according to the detection names (Virustotal.com).

How Hotnewss.xyz is able to show ads

All that Hotnewss.xyz does is display ads to the people whose notifications it has access to. There are no blog posts on it, no videos, no content. It just sends out ads.

But to be able to send ads to people’s browsers, Hotnewss.xyz needs to get their explicit permission. It asks browsers to display the “Hotnewss.xyz wants to show notifications” pop-up, people need to click “Allow” on it, and then Hotnewss.xyz will be able to send ads to them.

For this purpose, the creators of Hotnewss.xyz make a bunch of different webpages that tell visitors to click the “Allow” button without explaining what the Allow button actually does:

• Click “Allow” to start downloading.
• Click the button “Allow” to access.
• Click “Allow” to play the video.

These pages are outright lying to people.

After this, the people behind Hotnewss.xyz advertise the site on pirating, streaming, modding, browser gaming, file download, and other sites. They want these Hotnewss.xyz pages to blend in. This is like native advertising, but for malware.

Here’s Hotnewss.xyz pretending to play a movie but stopping to ask you to click “Allow”.

Dangers of notification spammers

Hotnewss.xyz and other spammers, like Content4you.net and Robotcaptcha.info, are basically advertising sites. But they, unlike normal sites, don’t have to be responsible or care about ethics. Because, soon enough, Hotnewss.xyz will be blocked by antivirus programs, ad blockers, and web browser blacklists, so it may as well make all the money it can while it’s still up.

Later, the makers of Hotnewss.xyz will just promote a new site with a new name to replace Hotnewss.xyz.

As a result, Hotnewss.xyz doesn’t have to say no to scammers, malware creators, and various controversial products. You may receive from Hotnewss.xyz ads that you might not want to see:

• Medical supplements that may not be regulated.
• Get-rich-quick schemes.
• Clickbait sites.
• Fake giveaways and surveys ($1 phone scams).
• Fake app updates.

At worst, a Hotnewss.xyz ad could take you to a site that steals user data, hosts malicious files and apps, and tries to scam you.
