What is Torrentfunk?

Torrentfunk.com bombards people with unwanted ads by tricking them into enabling browser notifications.

The site shows fake prompts like "Click Allow to verify you're not a robot" or "Click Allow to play the video". Once click "Allow", you've given this site permission to send notifications to your device.

After that, this site can floods your screen with spam advertisements all day long, even when you're not browsing. Those ads can promote suspicious dating sites, fake software updates, sketchy apps and games, questionable health products, or other unwanted services.

The notifications keep coming until you block them. Such spam bypasses most ad blockers.

This domain was registered 15 years ago through the company TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd. and had the owner Whois Privacy Corp..
