Deceiving domain - cocketexercine.info

Cocketexercine.info is the deceptive site that shows questionable verification or notification pop-ups to trick people into subscribing to additional content from this or related pages. It is a rogue website that gives no value because it is designed to trigger pop-ups and redirects to other similar sites.

Cocketexercine.info is closely related to adware-type intruders and advertisers, commercial content creators. Once the person clicks Allow on the pop-up delivered on the page subscription to push notifications gets automatically added, and the desktop itself is filled with notifications from the browser when the browser is closed or not in use.

The page is not malicious or dangerous in any significant way, but the content that all the redirects show to a person can lead to the installation of more serious cyber threats than the potentially unwanted program. This misleading site works as a PUP distribution method.
