Mumsnet redirecting to porn website

[BackToYourselfYouSillyOldElf]

Is it just me?

It's happening on my phone, I click on a thread and instead of opening it sends me to some dodgy porn site.

It's not every time, but it's happened twice in 24hrs. I'm not tech savy is it my IPhone?

The Mumsnet website has a virus - I get the following alert from my AVG antivirus software says:

Downloader Tibs Summary
Downloader Tibs is a malicious application that allows hackers to remotely access your computer system letting them modify files, steal personal information and install more unwanted software. These kinds of threats, called Trojan horse, must be sent to you by someone or carried by another program. They may also arrive thanks to unwanted downloads on infected websites or installed with online games or other internet-driven applications. Most Trojan horses can be detected and removed by AVG.

Hi there ZooTicuS1979!

Tech has assured us that the site is completely secure, especially now we’re on https. There is no virus or anything malicious on the site, however, if you could send us some screenshots if this continues to happen (and let us know what browser you're using) then we'd be happy to take a look.

Slightly different, tonight I've twice had "Safari cannot confirm the identity" (roughly) of eu-gmtdmp.gdl.mookie1.com. Most recently a few minutes ago on a chat thread. (iPad2 running Safari on ios4)

I am getting a redirect sometimes but it's to the EE content blocked page so I'm not seeing any other websites. Just one today though.

I got this yesterday and assumed it was just me! Don't think it was ewank, although moved away from the page immediately as thought it was probably a virus. Mine was in French (am on France on holiday). Have attached a screenshot of my history. Think it was more than one of the pages on my history. Am using Android.

Hullo Rich, thank you for responding

No issues since I cleared cache on me mobile (samsung galaxy, chrime browser)

[RichardTech]

Morning All..Sorry to read that some of you are still being affected by ewank. I can confirm that our network partner has implemented an additional block to help filter out the offending advertiser. I have also notice that the ewank site is using Google baseline tags, so I have added that url to our Google adx account block list.

Thanks for all your help and comments thus far - please keep them coming and I will continue to do all that I can to help put a stop this issue.

Regards,
Rich

Just had a look at the browser history on my phone and found these two. Logging is pretty unsophisticated on the android browser, so I can only tell you it happened between 2 and 7 days ago . The first pic has the MN page I was redirected from at the bottom of the list, the second one has the next MN page I went to at the top of the list.

If it happens again, I'll try to make a note of date/time.

I had to laugh at Worra's early on in the comments!

[flanjabelle]

Just happened again, from this thread!! Android, mobile site.

[smilingthroughgrittedteeth]

Just happened to me too, ran a scan but nothing showed up

Just happened to me too.
Bit of a grim sight early in the morning

[Cinnamoncookie]

Also, have got Malwarebytes anti-malware installed, ran a full scan, nothing showing up in any apps, of which I have very few

[3stripesandout]

Me too!

Also quite a few posts coming up with 0 posts. Click on them and it directs you somewhere weird!

Browser on my iPhone.

[Cinnamoncookie]

Had ewank and slimsites (?) a few times, mobile site on android phone, running AVG security. Generally happens going from (eg) page 2 to 3 of a thread, or back to Active from a thread.

[PseudoBadger]

I just had it, checking MN in the queue at the doctors and bloody porn comes up!

[tinkerbellvspredator]

Has been happening to me too, including just now. Luckily talk mobile are blocking the pages so I didn't realise it was porn. Am using the mobile site on Android chrome. I have anti virus.

I've had this before with mumsnet. Actually think it's something on Facebook that does it. I reset my router then clear history and cookies in safari settings and make sure ad blocker is on. I also double tap home key and clear windows pre opened. Finally I load safari and change it to private then back to normal.

Worked for me anyways.

[Wonderous]

Ewank for me this morning - ewwww

[HoldenMcGroin]

Okay have cleared cache

Will report back

I have spotted that the maj of probs have occurred overnight UK time, as opposed to between brunch and high tea time, as it were. Hmmmmmm.

[IPityThePontipines]

Happened to me, early this morning. Chrome browser, android phone.

[readyforno2]

I'm on an iPhone. Probably should have added that..

[readyforno2]

Sorry to bump this thread but it just happened to me.. Was posting from the browser and as soon as I posted the message it popped up.
Glad it wasn't just me!!

[flanjabelle]

Oh I'm on android by the way, using the mobile site.
