Learnyourskillonweb.xyz is a deceptive website that displays fake security alerts, which are designed to scare people into calling a remote tech support phone number.
These alerts are shown in such a way as to trick the user into thinking their computer has crashed or that a virus has been detected on the computer. It does this to try and scare the infected user into calling one of the listed numbers in order to receive support. In reality, though, they will only be greeted with people who are trying to sell them unneeded support contracts and services.
Under no circumstances should you call these numbers, and if you have already have and purchased services, we advise you to dispute the charges with your credit card company.
