Cassiopesa.com does not need to steal your money directly. In that aspect, browser hijackers are not as dangerous as Trojans, ransomware or rogue antispyware applications. The people behind Cassiopesa.com make money through the pay-per-click system when the hijacker redirects you to affiliated websites. You increase their traffic, and the hijackers developers get paid for the each click you make. That sounds like a good business plan, especially as the hijacker does not really try to infect you with malware.
