Porn on my phone again when clicking on threads

I know there was a thread about this a while back but I think that was sorted.

I had a very lurid pop up on my phone earlier when I clicked one of the threads I'm on. It was the Rio thread, if that helps and I was using an iPhone 5s. I've had the odd gaming ad before but I was rather startled by this.

Hi Best,

Thanks for this. Can you give us some more info please?

What device are you on and what browser? Did you manage to get a screen shot ?

BestIsWest · 09/08/2016 13:42

Iphone5s and safari. Sorry no screen shot - I closed the page very quickly

I've also just got the virus warning on my screen, same as danger above. What do I do to get rid of it?

DangerQuakeRhinoSnake · 10/08/2016 08:08

I pressed back to get off the pop up and then just closed the window NannyR.

RebeccaMumsnet · 10/08/2016 09:05

Thanks all.

Did that pop-up appear while you were on MN?
What device and browser please?

DangerQuakeRhinoSnake · 10/08/2016 09:11

Yes I was on a MN thread at the time. The device is named in the pop up and I'm using Chrome.

RebeccaMumsnet · 10/08/2016 12:09

Thank you.

If you've seen a pop-up, could you please look at our test page here and tell us if you see it again please?

Many thanks

Not the same thing I dont think but I got rerouted to porn when clicking a link to the litter tray. I'm sure there's a joke about wrong pussy in there somewhere but I'll resist temptation...

Just clicked on a thread - AIBU to have a life outside of my MIL or something like that - and after a second it moved to some disgusting porn site, something about teens and big cocks Angry Sad I'm on an iPhone and didn't get a screen shot but fucking hell that was disgusting.

DextersMistress · 12/08/2016 11:59

I've just had the same, Samsung tablet using safari. I clicked a thread and got a right eyeful!

BestIsWest · 12/08/2016 17:08

The test link just gave me a link to a MN page about living in Hastings sorry.

LewisFanIsBack · 12/08/2016 18:09

I've just been diverted too. I closed down before it loaded so didn't get screen shot but the browser was going via ad sites if that helps

I use a Samsung Galaxy s6 and chrome browser, no app

I then came back to chrome and it tried to tell me I infected with a virus and to "click here" to fix

I closed it again and ran my phone avast anti virus scan to check... all clear

LewisFanIsBack · 12/08/2016 18:13

Here's my history to see the sites it was flicking through.... it goes upwards from "newborn baby cardigan" thread on the bottom of the photo

Hi all,

There are quite a few threads running about pop-ups at the moment. It's an incredibly frustrating issue and one that we are working hard to get to the bottom of.

To try and simplify things could we please ask everyone to post their problems and feedback here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2709956-Being-redirected?

This is where we will be posting updates, too, so please do check back.

Our apologies once again, and thanks so much for all your help. Flowers
