Warning!  The browser prompts me to install an application. 

Yes.

I try to run the website against Virustotal:

Could be false positive though. To the OP, care to share what's the application that supposed to be downloaded and it seems it run on the background?

Strange.
Everything works well.
Subscribed to your news. Waiting for updates.
Hope, it will be something different than coindesk or cointelegraph.

It's not what you are going to do, it's what you actually do <-- This is my answer to your first post.
You can't get customers at first and then run a business. You have to offer them ready product/service and then attract.
Establish your business at first and then make it public, don't give us promises that you know that can't even achieve and only dream about.

Also there is no need to think about profit from the very first day, of course it should be your aim if it's business but at first do some job, money won't come out of thin air. Be interesting for advertisers...

Also don't even think that you'll get any customer by saying that you are going to donate money collected from affiliate program. No, as I said already, do real job, don't just throw promises.

What does the software that it asks you to install say? I have tried loading on 4 different browsers and never once got that message

Try it on Chrome (Version 80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) (64-bit))

The message exists, even if you want to deny it.  :/

[Baofeng]

I tested it on the following.

(1) Google Chrome version: Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) - it will download

(2) Brave Browser Version 1.5.115 Chromium: 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) - it will download

(3) Safari Version 13.1 (14609.1.20.111. - negative

(4) FireFox 74.0 (64-bit) - negative

(5) Opera Version:67.0.3575.97 - negative

So it looks like the problem is with Chromium based browsers.

Either this website has been backdoored, or OP is trying to install a background miner app.

Strange.

This is probably a puppet account OP uses to improve credibility. He clearly doesn't know that absolutely nobody trusts newbie spammers.

Stay away from this website until OP removes his driveby script.

Stay away from this website until OP removes his driveby script.

The script is 100% why he launched the site.   I doubt he will remove it. 

[CryptoNewsNet]

We plan to go to crypto events and conferences across the world and keep people up to date on top news. We want to create a place that even a beginner in crypto can jump in and start trading and mining today. This covid 19 is defiantly been a struggle to getting started and reason we do not have more content out yet. hopefully when this is over we can get back to getting stories out everyday. We can still set up partner deals if anyone is interested  You can also contact us at our discord down below.

https://i.imgur.com/aefB36p.jpg   this is what installs when you see the app install on chrome, all it is an app to view the site on windows and not need to open chrome.

I have now opened a flag against OP.

He denies the presence of a driveby script on his fake website, then completely disregards a trusted member (Vod) when called out on it.

OP has almost certainly planted the covert mining script himself in order to steal CPU/GPU resources and should not be trusted under any circumstances.

Thread archived in case OP deletes/modifies his posts. http://archive.is/BlQqT

dude its not a scrypt open up twitter and it will give you the same option i doubht now how many more times i have to say it. its something google offers. Please your more than welcome to scan for anything i gurentee you i am legit. I am sorry you guys are parnoid about the site. but this is 100% google and not me. try and load twitter and see if it offers the same install question, I bet it does. Please people actually do research before blindly accusing people of hacking. I am going to assume people that occusing me of hacking with out researching my site and scanning for stuff are just people trying to destroy my name so i will just ignore them. People that actually research and look into my site will see that I am not hacking. I pay $8 a month for my site, I am doing this site because I litterly cannot do anything else right now. I am stuck inside till this virus is over. I thought a fun way to spend the time would be to make a crypto site.

[CryptoNewsNet]

if you guys unistal google the app you install will no longer work, same thing with twitter. I really don't know how to explain it anymore. its pretty obvious if you open the image and see the app but I am guessing you didnt do that. Just like to accuse people of hacking.

[Initscri]

We should all just calm down here. I've looked through the source code, the button that shows on the OPs site is a PWA installation. AKA, A Progressive Web App.

You can see more information about them here: https://mobilesyrup.com/2019/03/27/pwa-install-button-google-chrome-canary/

Essentially, it just allows you to pull the website onto your computer and run it locally. Not necessarily a virus concern. AFAIK it's still run within the realm of chrome and not much different from loading the page on your browser (hence why when the OP said removing Chrome removes the app). There are just some differences with regards to loading and caching/saving of assets (such as CSS, etc)

Do I say you should download it, probably not. But at the same time, It doesn't necessarily make it intentional on behalf of the OP.

The website was built with GoDaddy Website Builder, and GoDaddy has been pushing PWAs for a while:
1. https://in.godaddy.com/blog/why-you-should-start-building-progressive-web-apps/
2. https://www.godaddy.com/garage/web-design-skills/#section1
3. https://www.iflexion.com/blog/progressive-web-app-framework (GoDaddy adopting)

You can confirm this with the following manifest file on the OPs website: https://cryptonewsnet.com/manifest.webmanifest and validate it with this guide to add a Manifest/PWA https://pwa-workshop.js.org/1-manifest/#using-a-manifest-generator

TLDR: It's kind of like a newer version of "Add to Homescreen". It allows the website to be pulled down and act as a native app without as many controls. Image if "Add to Homescreen" pulled the website up in its own app, and could act offline. Think of basically being able to open up Amazon right from your desktop and have it function AS IF it was it's own app.


I'll have to confirm whether this is an option in GoDaddy website builder. Perhaps OP accidentally selected it when building the site.

I'm not trying to call anyone out here. I get the feeling. Sometimes crypto sites can seem sketchy and we all have seen those scammed from websites alike this. I'd recommend retracting any flags against the OP until this is further diagnosed.


@OP, if you can contact GoDaddy to have them remove the code for the PWA (aka the manifest file), that may not be a bad idea. Websites prompting any sort of installation probably won't bode well for crypto users (due to heightened security risks, etc). I'll put the code which should be removed below:

Code:

<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest"/>

If there's an option to disable the manifest file from your control panel, I'd recommend it.

Thank you for looking, I really tried to explain to people its called google extensions you can do it with other sites like twitter to. I tried to ask godaddy but they said it was a part of google and not them. I will look into removing it im just not sure yet since it is a part of googles browser if I can.

It's not a chrome extension. Google removed inline support for Chrome extensions in 2018.

It's a piece of code they are placing on your site to create the prompt. They should be able to remove the manifest file as I suggest above. Sounds like a low-level support op just suggesting "nope, that's google's fault"

[stomachgrowls]

Didnt see such prompt when i do open the site on Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) in incognito but when you try it up on non-private it do really have that prompt message.

Little bit off topic which i do thought that this one is Crypto-news.net. .

Edit: Just read up Initscri explanation above..

[Initscri]

I will say to OP, have you considered converting your website to something self-hosted like Wordpress. You said you were on quarantine.. not a bad time to learn the software, install a theme, and then you'll have more control instead of being held against will to GoDaddy software.

_{If it aint obvious, I'm not a huge fan of GoDaddy} 

[CryptoNewsNet]

Yea, I will look into it as long as it does not cost to much I would be glad to learn something more. Godaddy did say they cant remove it could be an excuse by them though. Voskcoin will be joining the team so we will be getting videos with him in the future.

The only cost you would incur is web-hosting. Probably no more than you're currently paying GoDaddy.
