Malicious screamers | Malicious screamers aim to harm or frighten viewers and can do anything [[malicious]] with the user's computer, including infecting it with viruses, malware, or other harmful software that steals personal information or damages the system. Infamous examples include [[Google Hammer]] and [[Last Measure]]. These screamers typically use graphic or violent imagery and loud noises. They may also prompt users to download a seemingly harmless file or click on a link that contains malware or freeze their computer on a [[shock site|shock image]]. Creators of malicious screamers often employ common tactics, such as misleading titles or thumbnails (for example, [[Glory Hole Foundation]]). Various malicious sites include [[Nobrain.dk]], [[Onche.fr]] or [[Screamer Cactus]]. | ||

[[Shock sites]] refer to websites that contain explicit and often graphic content that is intended to provoke extreme reactions in viewers. This content can include images and videos depicting violence, gore, sexual content, and other offensive material related to racism, sexism, and discrimination. Shock sites do indicate that they are typically more extreme than other types of screamer websites, as they contain graphic and explicit content intended to shock their websites hence the name. Shock sites have been around since the early days of the internet, with sites like [[Rotten.com]] gaining notoriety for their graphic content. Since then, shock sites have proliferated, with new sites constantly being created and shared online. | [[Shock sites]] refer to websites that contain explicit and often graphic content that is intended to provoke extreme reactions in viewers.
