Why is this still happening? [angry ]

Yet again I've been redirected, this time to 'you've got a virus click here to remove' cleared cache and shot down. Didn't have chance to screen shot. Android Sony experia.

RNBrie · 19/08/2016 18:20

I've just had this for the first time. Midway through reading a thread. Sony phone, Android, mobile site, chrome.

I've just had the Marvel pop up - had the 'won an iPhone' one about half an hour ago. I'm on an iPhone 6 safari.

Every time I think Cyclops has gone for good - back he comes.

So tedious.

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 19/08/2016 18:06

Just had the Marvel one AGAIN

BestIsWest · 18/08/2016 22:03

I had the Marvel Cyclops one today. It would have been around lunchtime though so might have been just before you tried to fix it.

ShoeJunkie · 18/08/2016 20:24

I haven't had any more today.

Hi all,

We have now made some amendments internally to try to fix the issue.

Can you please let us know if you see any more pop-ups (or not) by posting below. Specifically the porn redirects and the gaming/virus popups.

Thanks so much in advance and apologies once again.

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 18/08/2016 12:29

I've been redirected all morning to a gaming site, and it won't let me skip back to mumsnet, I have to close the tab and re open. What's going on?

It's this site here.

Just had this too. Was counting down, don't know what would have happened had it hit zero.

Please sort it, it's getting tiresome now.

It makes your history a bit odd too. Even though you seem to go straight to it, there's lots of entries on the history as you've been redirected umpteen times in that split second.

Just adding that I had another redirect. It's maddening let alone any sinister motives! Think I might log off mumsnet and just lurk for a bit to see if/when it's fixed? But isn't there another thread saying you can't read threads now without being signed in...? Grin It's the MN apocalypse!

Have now had numerous redirects in the past few weeks to porn sites and sites claiming that my phone is infected with '3 virus' then vibrating madly.

I'm getting more than a little fed up and I think it's bloody disgraceful that a major website like this can't sort it out.

This is my report;
Hi, please can you respond to this as to whether your site security is up to the job or not. Are we compromising our devices by using mumsnet?

Mumsnet it seems there's obviously something unsafe about your site. Can you reassure us at all? I'm reporting this so we hopefully get a response.

Happened twice in the 10minutes I've been. What's going on?

SquedgieBeckenheim · 18/08/2016 10:54

Happened a few times to me yesterday and today. Directed to a site telling me I have a virus. I'm on Android. Not happened when I've been using a laptop.

madamginger · 18/08/2016 10:52

Just happened to me to, a disgusting porn site ad popped up.

ThornyBird · 18/08/2016 10:01

Happened again just now. iPhone 6 on safari.

On an iPhone 5s and I keep getting redirected to what looks like some sort of App Store. I closed it down before I thought to photograph it though.

TheBestNamesAreTaken · 18/08/2016 09:28

And me. iPhone/Safari combo

Was just reading a sensitive thread when it automatically redirected me to "love naughties" with porn images.

Sort it out mumsnet ffs

JustGettingStarted · 18/08/2016 09:00

I'm on a Nexus 6 using Chrome browser. Getting redirected to all sorts with pop ups about virus this and that. Makes my phone vibrate.

zgaze · 18/08/2016 08:56

Just had a succession of pop ups which culminated with a truly disgusting porn ad, I took a screenshot but won't post it, MNHQ is welcome to it though. Was just reading a thread and it happened, didn't click on anything. It's a or the fifth time this morning but the rest have been gaming ads not porn. I'm on the mobile site on an iPhone 6+ using safari.
