Galvanized · 25/10/2014 07:32

It's not for me. How bizarre.

Asleeponasunbeam · 25/10/2014 07:32

It was horrible :(

rocketeer · 25/10/2014 07:34

I'm on my phone using mobile site and android if that helps

YouNerrNoothinJonSnerr · 25/10/2014 07:35

Shock Really?!!!! Grin

Is this only happening when you use your phone? I'm having no probs on my laptop.

Asleeponasunbeam · 25/10/2014 07:35

On phone using Safari. I'll try again.

Not for me! Hope it's sorted soon.

YouNerrNoothinJonSnerr · 25/10/2014 07:36

ok, not funny. Was it like, properly horrible, rocketeer?

That is very worrying. How would this even happen?

Asleeponasunbeam · 25/10/2014 07:36

Back to normal now. I seriously wasn't making it up! Hideous. I assumed it had been the work of the church group troll!

It's not happening to me, on a phone with desktop version and Safari. I have got restrictions set pretty high though.

BuddyKringleberry · 25/10/2014 07:38

I'm on safari on my phone and was getting redirected to ew*ank. I was so confused x

BuddyKringleberry · 25/10/2014 07:40

Now I keep getting redirected to the App Store!! Annoying x

Asleeponasunbeam · 25/10/2014 07:43

Me too. And I got a weird chat request.

Going off line in the hope it'll stop.

MNHQ - could you please email if you have/ need any info?

Fine on PC (firefox)

ChipsRedWhite · 25/10/2014 07:45

Yep I got the porn redirect and App Store one too just now.

rocketeer · 25/10/2014 07:46

I didn't see too much as it had an over 18 msg thing but the ewank address was enough to panic me - this is a work phone!

Ruralretreating · 25/10/2014 07:52

Same has happened to me - random redirection from AIBU thread to e*wank. I thought it was my phone but DH checked and same happened to him.

misdee · 25/10/2014 08:45

Also had it happen

Flump007 · 25/10/2014 09:06

I was just on a thread when my screen turned red with a security warning telling me I was at risk of bring hacked and having info removed from my computer.
I exited it before noting down any useful information (sorry).

Am now running virus scans.

Wondering if this is linked to the porn links? ??

I use Google Chrome btw.

TheOnlyOliviaMumsnet · 25/10/2014 09:09
Shock Where are you seeing this?
Flump007 · 25/10/2014 09:11

I was reading a thread titled ....Another boy sucked my son's willy - or similar.

Asleeponasunbeam · 25/10/2014 09:11

On iPhone using safari. I decided to check back and it hasn't happened for a few minutes.

I wasn't reading that thread. Just tried to browse active convos. Also keep getting redirected to the AppStore for a casino app. Happened when I was typing on this thread.
