Anyone else getting "congratulations" spoken to them by their phone whilst browsing mumsnet?!

[CheekyChappy710]

I always have my phone on silent but I have it on loud today as I'm expecting a call. Browsing mumsnet and a computerised siri style voice is saying "congratulations" over and over. I have a new Samsung phone, anti virus and I haven't clicked on any ads. Its freaking me out! Mumsnet HQ what's going on?!

[CheekyChappy710]

I've now turned off media sound and left my phone on loud for ringing but anyway it's weird.

[donajimena]

Yes! No pop up to go with it. I thought I was having auditory hallucinations

[Towerofjoyless]

Yes, I had this about 5 minutes ago. Just once, though!

[MrsJBaptiste]

Thought it was my tablet going doolally!

[GissASquizz]

Yes. Creepy.

[Namechangeymcnamechange11]

I had it fairly recently, but had other browsers open to so just assumed it came from the news website I had open. How strange. Ran a virus checker after, but nothing.

[Elmo311]

OMG yes! It keeps happening! 6 times so far today!

[NigelYerABawbag]

Yes me!

This ad, on this page

[outpinked]

I had it so much last week I couldn’t bear to use the site anymore, it prevented me from reading through threads or posting. It seems to have stopped this week though.

[Cakemadeoffruit]

Yes it's just happened even though I have my phone set to vibrate

[YouLikeTheBadOnesToo]

It’s not happened to me, but sounds mildly horrifying! Think I’ll be keeping my phone on silent when on mumsnet from now on!

[Charley34]

Yes this has just happened to me I'm fed up with the spam from looking at MN !

[Soberfutures]

Yes I've had it today and have this add at the bottom of the page

@MumsnetHQ please get this looked in to and some kind of spam blocker added to your site/up your security thank you!

[theconstantinoplegardener]

I had this too - right after I noticed the title of your thread in Active Conversations! Then the page seemed to freeze and I couldn't use the "back" button. Very peculiar.

[CheekyChappy710]

How do I change my password on here does anyone know?

[bellabasset]

Yes just now, thought it was an advert on the phone. Just heard congratulations.

[PerpendicularVincent]

Yes, me! It keeps telling me I've won an iPhone and it's obviously bollocks

[ThreadKillerSleepsInACoil]

I'm getting it with an Amazon advert, apparently I've won something

Also stops the back button working, back button just reloads the ad/voice.

[LucyAutumn]

Yes I had this with no pop up. Killed the tab and started afresh.

Get Brave browser. It blocks everything and you don’t have to do a thing.

It can’t help with the voices though

[Cakemadeoffruit]

It's still happening @mumsnet

[CheekyChappy710]

Its annoying they dont reply. Someone report my post so they reply 😂 joking!

[InternetArgument]

Get Brave browser. Use it. No more issues like this, ever. No tracking, no ads, no third party scripts.

MN probably won’t reply because it’s unlikely they have a fix for this exploit.
