Long considered malicious website behavior (and defined as abusive by Google), back button hijack is starting to rear its ugly head again. The lower panel in the image is what tomshardware.com displays when the back button is selected. The enshittification continues.

Tomshardware.com whois:

Registrar: Lexsynergy Limited

IANA ID: 1466

Email: domains@lexsynergy.com

Abuse Email: abuse@lexsynergy.com

Abuse Phone: +442031370459

Some poor web developer was told to implement this against their will. Hopefully they raised the concern. Report the site as abusive until their registrar takes them down. Should make for a fun week for that POS project manager.
