Malware ads? Getting redirected to full page nude/porn ads.

[Bokito]

Since about yesterday about half of my news article views and occasional home page views redirect to a specific nude/porn site. Is the MR team aware of this? Country = Netherlands. Maybe that helps, because I would expect major outcry if this happened in the USA.

Same here from Greece. It’s been like this for two days now every time I visit the home page. Forums appear not to be affected so it could be an ad that’s causing the issue

This is why an ad blocker is vital. These days it seems money is more important than doing the right thing. Never trust someone else’s services, that includes an ad service.

Obviously, problem redirects are not intended, - I have no problem accepting that, - but, the point is that they shouldn't be happening in the first place, and steps should be securely in place to ensure that any such redirects are not of the problematic variety.

I am very new here, and this concerns me as I am under 18. Will there be flash porn ads if I go there?

Oh, my YES! regardless of what you're viewing and sites. Important to protect your computer and or mobile devices.

Hi,

Reports have stopped, so I'm hoping it's been addressed fully. If someone can respond if they've seen different.

I've never got any.
How do I get them too?
