Deceiving domain - prize-mania.mobi
Prize-mania.mobi is an adware-related domain that promises fake prizes to capture subscribers. The user is firstly provided with a spinning wheel that includes multiple rewards. If you land on a picture with a specific device, the adware displays a congratulations message and then pushes the "Allow" button via the Show Notifications message.
The deceptive technique by tricking the user into believing that he/she can receive a prize just by enabling notifications leads to the hijacked web browser. Additionally, the hijacker modifies webs sites by adding third-party ads and similar content.
