Invasive adverts

And again. While it was loading Threads I'm on. Still Android, Chrome. Still getting quite pissed off tbh

Still getting them daily.

I'm still getting these on chrome

swampy they are not from sky broadband.

They purport to be from whomever is your broadband or mobile data provider, hence I get BT when using WiFi or 3 when using mobile data. If you follow any of the questions they will almost certainly lead to a phishing or other scam site.

Oh fgs Mumsnet.

Using an Android device is almost impossible at weekends. Everytime today I've opened up a page here it has been hijacked within seconds. I didn't even need to log in. I'm posting this using my work Windows phone (which I shouldn't be using for personal stuff) and after that will be giving up.

Android, despite what Apple's pr machines might lead you to believe, is by miles the market leading platform (80% or so) The people who write malware target the Android platform just because of sheer numbers.

I do everything online with Android devices- no other website has the problems MN has.

Taken there from the "precious fucking laundry" thread

This has happened to me on a different website. I can't remember what the website was sorry. It was months ago.

Because the adverts are targeted so that not everyone sees them it is very hard for MN to stop them

Are they targeted? Or is everyone who has looked at MN with an android mobile this morning had them?

I can't help feeling that if this was an iPhone issue, MN would be doing more to sort it. After all, there has been an iPhone MN app for ages now, but the Android one was taken down and never replaced and it's been well over a year now...

Getting them again - always from sky broadband

"Malvertising", as it's known is actually a growing trend. Although many are more annoying than dangerous, increasingly, they are being used to infect users' machines in "drive by download" style attacks.
Responsible site owners will attempt to sanitise all advertisements, from whatever source, before presenting them on websites.
However, that process may fail, so keeping your computer updated with the latest security patches, etc., is extremely important.
(The Internet is like the wild west at present, and law enforcement is simply overwhelmed by the sheer scale of cyber attacks. Best to defend yourself as far as possible...)

Had this for months now on and off. Advert telling me I have won a phone. I have anti virus software, doesn't stop it. At least the explicit adverts for adult sites have stopped although it is still very annoying.

There is nothing wrong with your phone, and no security issues (as long as you don't follow any dodgy links)

The issue is with dodgy adverts that use some sort of script to redirect you. Because the adverts are targeted so that not everyone sees them it is very hard for MN to stop them although every other site on the internet seems to manage

I have just had it again when I clicked on a link to a site called Gossipcop? I clicked off it straight away but thought I'd mention it in case it helps narrow down advertisers in common.

Glasgow, mobile site, chrome, android 7

In Greater London, using Chrome on a Moto G. Nothing new installed recently.
Happens when I click on the mumsnet digest email and open up a hot thread.
Makes me not want to use mumsnet anymore. This feels like my phone has been compromised by clicking on a mumsnet link.
Does anyone have a solution to clean my phone ?
Can anyone confirm what has actually happened ?

And only happening on mumsnet.

Recently my Tesco app has started running v slowly, but otherwise my phone is working normally

I am still getting this on my wileyfox swift android phone with chrome browser

I am in London zone 2 if mnhq do want to check out my phone!

It happens infrequently though, maybe every half hour, always on opening a new talk topic

I've had this too, in the early hours of the morning today, didn't screen shot. I'm using the mobile site on chrome on Android, Samsung s5, location South Wales. I've had it before, not sure of dates then not for a while until early this morning.

Happened again. Very pissed off now.

Yet again this morning. The usual BT one.

I tried yesterday only using mobile data but it still came up although referred to me as a "3 user" - which I am. Clearly it correctly identidies which broadband or data supplier you use.

Also happening to me. Chrome on Samsung.

I had it yesterday could screenshot but not url as it froze chrome completely I'm in nw and using chrome on s7 edge . Did try using chrome on laptop and not had it all on that .

I got a different one this morning - came up as the Amazon one but then changed to this :

I've been having this problem as well. Using Chrome on samsung.

Only happening on mumsnet

Yes me too. It congratulates me as an EE user. Only happens on mumsnet and only at home on my android phone
