How Ppl-news2.club tricks people

Ppl-news2.club mostly targets Russian speakers who frequent video streaming sites and adult video sites.

Web browser notifications are little messages from a website to a browser. They can be sent even when the website is not open in the browser. And they always have to be opted into. For that, sites ask browsers to show the notification pop-up with the buttons “Allow” and “Block”.

Notifications are good for getting updates about a new direct message or a new email. But some sites, like Ppl-news2.club, use them for something else: to spam people with ads.

Ppl-news2.club advertises on various free video sites (both adult and non-adult). Ppl-news2.club can pop up in your browser and automatically open a new tab. It can happen when you click on a new video, the Search button, the Home button – pretty much anywhere. Even if you’re good at dodging ads online, Ppl-news2.club can still catch you by surprise.

Then, Ppl-news2.club shows a picture of a loading video, displays the notification pop-up, and tells you to click Allow to watch that video. It won’t work, as it’s is just a collection of a few symbols and icons made to look like a Youtube video. But some people do click that Allow button, either because they’re distracted or because they don’t know how Ppl-news2.club works.

Ppl-news2.club is very similar to Lop-news3.club, Lmx-news3.club, Yyu-news1.club, Gotohouse1.club, as well as Allow-space.com, Critical-alert.info, and many others. And these sites promote each other. So, if your browser gets infected with one notification spammer, others aren’t far behind.

How Ppl-news2.club can be harmful

Besides showing distracting, annoying pop-ups right in your web browser, which is already really bad, Ppl-news2.club also promotes some shady stuff:

• adware sites (similar to Ppl-news2.club) and browser extensions (new tab hijackers and search hijackers)
• fake warnings about expired antivirus subscriptions, malware disguised as software updates, fake virus detections, and other scareware,
• clickbait sites (sites that are mostly made up of ad space),
• suspicious health supplements supported by the testimonies of made-up experts (always check the name and picture of the “expert” before you trust them),
• phishing sites (fake giveaways).

Basically, if you let Ppl-news2.club show you advertisements for a while, you’ll get some malicious content shown to you. Sure, a few legitimate sites will show up, too, but you can expect a lot of dangerous low-quality advertisements. Advertisers who are rejected from normal websites for their content being too harmful can find refuge with Ppl-news2.club.
