You might still want to scan your computer for malware, just in case you downloaded something dangerous. For example, by using an anti-malware app like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. Toapodazoay.com and similar sites tend to show some dangerous advertisements, which may result in you being exposed to scam sites, malware promos, installation pages for browser hijackers, that sort of thing.

You can also use ad blockers and anti-malware apps to block dangerous sites for you. If you often find yourself being redirected to malicious sites, especially if you often use websites that display aggressive ads, then such security tools could be very helpful to you.

What does Toapodazoay.com do?

Toapodazoay.com is an advertising site. Unlike normal sites that show ads to make money, Toapodazoay.com doesn’t really provide a useful function. It just sends ads to your browser as if it was spam email. Unlike spam email, though, Toapodazoay.com’s ads can’t be easily ignored. They get plastered on your screen, refusing to go away until you dismiss them.

In addition, Toapodazoay.com has a news site with a few articles taken from NYTimes and similar sites. From what I can tell, these articles are just there as props to make Toapodazoay.com look like a news site, to hide its real function: to forward affiliate links and ads to all those who allowed (likely unwittingly) Toapodazoay.com to send notifications to their browsers.

Toapodazoay.com looks exactly like Hopsigna.com, Lifetds.com, Oawhaursaith.com, and others. Malicious actors often create multiple versions of a thing. They don’t want their individual sites to get popular because the more noticeable a malicious site is, the sooner it gets blocked by browsers, ad blockers, and anti-malware web filters.

How notification spammers hijack browsers

This is as simple as Toapodazoay.com asking visitors to allow its notifications and visitors agreeing to it. Some of them do it because they don’t know what notifications are, some do it out of the habit of clicking through things without reading (which is honestly understandable).

Sometimes, the way that Toapodazoay.com is advertised (malicious redirects) leads some people to believe they’re still on the site they were on previously.

It’s enough to click “Allow” when one of these sites shows you a notification prompt and they get to order your browser to open pop-up ads.

When used honestly, notifications are awesome. They can let you know when something important happened on a website that you care about, such as your social media account. It’s unfortunate that advertising sites decided to abuse notifications to show unwanted ads.

The developers of web browsers know this and they provide tools for us to block or hide notification requests. Consider configuring your browser to block web notifications if you want to avoid other sites that work like Toapodazoay.com does.
