At first glance, this website presents no danger to users’ online security neither to the security of their computer systems. However, taking into consideration that the website’s service – “shorten link and make money” is available to anyone who has access to the Internet, it is very likely that bad actors use it too.

It means that they can first corrupt a website by injecting malware into its code, then shorten the URL of an infected web page and finally spread the URL across the web. The moment such an infected web page loads in a target web browser, it becomes able to deliver and activate malicious software on the background of all other active processes.

Loptelink.pro Ads – Spread and Impact
Loptelink.pro is a questionable website used for the generation of shortened links. The purpose of these links is to generate revenue to their operators whenever someone opens them in a browser. Users whose browsers get affected by Loptelink.pro ads often think that they have a virus on their machines. This could be explained by the fact that these annoying ads tend to appear in popular web browsers without users’ knowledge or permission. Our research indicates that the website continues to be active in February 2020, and is affecting users at a large scale.
There is a vast number of different bogus websites that are lurking accross web. Recent examples of such are Gestyy.com, Tesimpathstrivin.info and Mp3pro.xyz hijacker. More often than not these webites hijack trustworthy browsers after a user installs unintentionally a potentially unwanted program on the computer operating system (Windows/Mac).
Unfortunately, there are various free programs across the web that feature hidden extras in their installers. The installers of such apps are set to install undesired apps by default. The tricky part is that the installers do not openly ask users if they want to install present extras or prefer to skip their installation and continue with the installation of the main program. Free and useful apps like media players, readers, drivers, etc. may have corrupted installers.
To prevent this side effect and keep potentially unwanted programs (adware, browser hijackers, browser extensions, etc.) away from computer systems, users need to check carefully the details that are presented on each step of the installer. The Advanced/Custom configuration step should be selected whenever it is available.
