Malwarebytes investigated numerous customer reports of persistent unwanted web push notifications and identified a coordinated campaign using deceptive quiz and ad websites (e.g., triviabox.co.in, unsphiperidion.co.in) that trick users into clicking the browser "Allow" prompt; the report explains how these notifications are abused to deliver ads, affiliate scams, or unwanted downloads, provides removal steps for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari, and lists 18 associated domains as IOCs.
