What causes Topfreeshop.xyz pop-up ads?

Have you been seeing little pop-ups that are labeled with the name “Topfreeshop.xyz”?

This is a case of notification spam. Topfreeshop.xyz is a malicious website that abuses web push notifications to force your browser to show little messages.

Here’s Topfreeshop.xyz asking for permission to show notifications:

If you ever saw this message in your browser and clicked the “Allow” button, knowingly or accidentally, then that enabled Topfreeshop.xyz to show you advertisements any time your browser is open.

“Click Allow to play the video”, riiight. Topfreeshop.xyz is advertised online on sites like:

• pirating, “free” movie and sports streaming sites,
• download sites for mods, cheats, and other files,
• old and niche blogs, forums – sites infected with malicious redirects.

The Topfreeshop.xyz pages try to blend with the sites that they’re advertised on.

For instance, when Topfreeshop.xyz is promoted on a movie streaming site, it shows the fake video player. In addition, ads for Topfreeshop.xyz are triggered by clicking anywhere on the pages that promote it or by clicking links, which means that people might not realize that they’re looking at an ad.

As a result, people might subscribe to Topfreeshop.xyz’s ads without realizing what they’re doing. Or they might believe that they have no choice but to subscribe to the notifications.

Topfreeshop.xyz is not the only site that does this. News-hufyfu.cc, News-nusefo.cc, 1Music-online.me, and thousands of other notification spammers do the same thing. They trick people with fake video players, loading bars, captchas, “continue” screens, etc. Then flood them with ads.
