Just been automatically diverted to this from a thread Shock. Have emailed mnhq. No virus on my phone and not downloaded anything recently.

Just got redirected again whilst on aibu. Wouldn't let me go back and kept creating pop up boxes so had to completely shut down my browser.

Hi All

Our security team are looking into it right now.
Will keep you posted.
Sorry.

Porn on my phone last night whilst on Mumsnet ! Really explicit too. See others had a problem. Anyone know why it would happen and how to stop it ?

PokemonWanker · 19/10/2016 09:48

I've just been redirected to a porn site from a thread in relationships. I'm using Safari on an IPhone.

iwanttobemissmarple · 19/10/2016 10:02

Me too - safari on iPhone.

Went to click on a thread & porn site

ItsJustPaint · 19/10/2016 10:22

Me too.

Safari on an I phone in chat

Didn't think to screenshot my haste to close it down

AngieMumsnet · 19/10/2016 10:39

Yes please close them down as quickly as you can, I understand that is not always possible but they are showing up fraudulently and we are doing all we can to stop this.

BastardBernie · 19/10/2016 10:49

Hi, I just had a watch my girlfriend sort of pop up, on safari browsing active.

AntiHop · 19/10/2016 10:51

This happened to me on a respectable news website yesterday. So not just mumsnet.

FancyPuffin · 19/10/2016 11:00

I've just been redirected!

Using iPhone on safari.

AngieMumsnet · 19/10/2016 11:06

Hi AntiHop

Yes I have heard from other publishers who are experiencing the same issues, we are working together on this.

Thanks

AngieMumsnet · 19/10/2016 11:57

Hi

Can I check if you guys are logged in or out when you experience these redirects?

Thanks guys, that helps us narrow it down.

CharleytheFrenchPoodle · 19/10/2016 14:40

Hi, just happened to me too. Logged in on iPhone using Safari. Gave me a bit of a shock!

SharonStrzelecki · 19/10/2016 16:44

Just happened to me for the first time. I am logged in, using safari on an iPhone. Opened a thread from active threads and then a porn site opened. Glad the DC were too engrossed in the tv to notice!

TheHobbitMum · 19/10/2016 16:47

I'm logged in on via Chrome, Android (all up to date) and was redirected to a very active pornsite which had a nice young lady making a male friend rather happy with her very vigorous efforts Shock Its becoming a joke and I'm seriously questioning whether to stay on the site. Being directed to Porn or scam winning sites is becoming too frequent! Do something it's been going on long enough now

AgnesWaterhouse · 19/10/2016 17:02

Just been diverted onto a porn site as I was clicking on a thread in bereavement. I'm logged in and on my phone so using the mobile interface.

ItsJustPaint · 19/10/2016 18:00

Yep. I was logged in.

I think I'm permeantly logged in.

AngieMumsnet · 19/10/2016 19:05

Quick update-

I've gone into our systems and blocked all the urls you guys have posted on here.
We are in the process of testing a couple of other things to make it hard for these frauds to get in.
Testing this will take a day or two, please bear with us.
