[David H. Lipman]

Notifications are disabled yet I received a "Threat Watch" notification for a Sodiniokibi  Ransomware.

Spoiler

How does one Disable the receipt of "Threat Watch" notifications ?

That looks like some new messaging.  I've sent a message to staff.

Having the same message pop up for one of my customers. Would like to know how to turn off threat watch notifications.

I really don't like getting calls because of a useless notification. Most pop up notifications in that style are a red flag for them.

I agree with you. Send the things like this to the registered email.

I agree also. Notification pop ups when trying to work is distracting and irritating. This feature should respect notification settings.

Thanks for adding to my workload tomorrow when all the staff sees this popup and asks me if they have been hacked. A popup is NOT the place to advertise for your blog. Send me a newsletter email.... Worse you can't disable the notification. Really poorly handled.

For reference, here is what the popup looks like

TURN THIS OFF or allow opt-out.  Or just send as an email with an UNSUBSCRIBE link included. This is disgusting behavior.
