Porn appearing!

Reading a thread when suddenly the page changed to a rather graphic video! I'm on an I pad (using safari) and I definitely haven't been on any dodgy sites, is this a mumsnet problem or an iPad problem?

Full redirect rather than just a pop up ad.

SoupDragon · 18/01/2017 09:19

I've just had this pop up my iPad. Never had one before.

So why doesn't it happen on any other website I look at? Confused what measures do they put in PLACE to stop it happening? This has been going on for MONTHS.

Which basically means

We haven't got a clue. Grin

Please let me assure you we definitely do not accept advertising from anyone, we have very strict blocks and rules in place, unfortunately the fraudsters are always finding ways to bypass security.
I am currently working with our partners to see what additional measures we can put in place, I will update on this thread.

Thanks

Since this afternoon, my mn has been mindnumbingly slow. Coincidence?
(Cache cleared and restarted already, btw)

This is far from the first time and it doesn't happen on other web forums I visit - why doesn't Mumsnet stop it - is it an inevitable consequence of accepting advertising from pretty much anyone?

BakeOffBiscuits · 17/01/2017 14:53

Ive just had the same one as Beyond

What is happening MNHQ?

BeyondTheStarryNight · 17/01/2017 14:34

Mine is iPad. Warning, screenshot attached that is rather inappropriate...

bloody porn people using "gender" too, they get extra irritated points from me for that!!

Ok thanks, investigating it now

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 15/01/2017 22:02

I had the same thing today on an iPad. MN suddenly redirected to a site called watch my girlfriend which was porn.

SparkleShinyGlitter · 15/01/2017 22:00

Yes mine is on an IPad

BakeOffBiscuits · 15/01/2017 21:58

Mine was on an iPad

AngieMumsnet · 15/01/2017 21:52

Is this just happening on iPads?

Armi · 15/01/2017 20:47

Just happened to me too. I don't know who the young woman was, but she's going to catch her death going around like that.

Thanks to you all for flagging this up to us. We really do appreciate it. Our tech team are looking into the problem and hope to resolve it soon.

Cherrysoup · 14/01/2017 21:44

Just posted about this, same thing, iPad and safari. It has the word Facebook in the address.

ColdFeetinWinter · 14/01/2017 18:31

Oh I've known loads have sites have glitches!!! But none have involved hacking users I'd, swat teams or porn Confused

SealSong · 14/01/2017 18:25

I've never known a website to have so many technical problems as this one.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 14/01/2017 18:06

Ffs AGAIN?! I was only thinking this morning that it had settled down,clearly notHmm

SealSong · 14/01/2017 18:02

"Troll glitch?"

What exactly is that, MNHQ??

ColdFeetinWinter · 14/01/2017 17:59

I've cleared my cache cozie and now MN is taking ages to respond...to the point I feel like giving up. I've never had any security worries with another site but last year's MN attacks and now porn from this site has made me very uncomfortable.

Not sure why clearing my cache would prevent it as I really don't visit porn sites and am sole user of this iPad?

SparkleShinyGlitter · 14/01/2017 17:40

Me too I get a fully naked women with her legs open Shock
