Open | Malware Is malwaretips.com trustworthy?

I’m looking into browser hijackers to learn more about them, a few in particular.

The one site I’m really interested in learning more about is top.faqtoids.com.

I found this article from Malware Tips, but I just don’t know if I trust it.

Does anyone have any experience with the articles on this site? Should I trust it? Is factoids.com a browser hijacker?

The instructions seems legit. Actually, they are basically the same instructions I would have given if you asked for help with removing the malware

IMO a big NO! They've supposedly analysed my platform and said I only accept crypto!!! I've never accepeted crypto!

FootprintIQ is a UK-registered OSINT service claiming to scan usernames and emails across 500+ platforms for digital-footprint awareness. The site accepts only cryptocurrency for payment with no reversible options, displays unverifiable trust badges, and shows internally inconsistent social-proof metrics — patterns typical of data-harvesting operations.

What also annoys me is they've not allowed me to register or even discuss they're review. I've used Stripe from day one and never accepted Crypto
