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?

We're sorry to hear about this - would you try to get a screenshot for us if it happens again. We'll certainly take a look.

Don't worry, it has happened before and is a troll glitch basically so nothing to do with anyone's browsing history Wink

BakeOffBiscuits · 13/01/2017 21:19

Same hereShock

And I'm not going to take a screen shot! I don't want that in my photofileGrin

bigredboat · 13/01/2017 21:51

Just had it happen again but with some sort of credit card/dodgy looking money site. Before I saw the post about taking a screenshot though, if it happens again I'll take one.

Happened to me too!

I was reading the 'is this sepsis' thread, moved onto page 2 and got this cartoon picture instead of a man and woman DTD. There was a message on it I can't remember what it said, something to do with don't look at this web page.

I hit the back button to be greeted with naked woman and flashing yellow page with address bar showing something like zerwin???

I haven't used FB on safari and this page jumped up from nowhere

ColdFeetinWinter · 13/01/2017 22:39

What exactly is a troll glitch? That's not explaining to me how porn bypassed my internet provider protection and landed on my screen.

Should I stop my DC from using this device? Is it linked to only MN and only certain threads?

ColdFeetinWinter · 14/01/2017 04:06

Any answers?

AwkwardSquad · 14/01/2017 12:42

Just happened to me too. On iPad using Safari. Sorry, no screenshot as I closed the browser down immediately.

cozietoesie · 14/01/2017 12:47

Always remember to clear your Safari cache regularly. It helps a lot.

DowhatIwanttodo · 14/01/2017 17:38

Just happened to me. Very graphic picture! It was difficult to close too as it said it was loading so lucky dc were not around.

SparkleShinyGlitter · 14/01/2017 17:40

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

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?

SealSong · 14/01/2017 18:02

"Troll glitch?"

What exactly is that, MNHQ??

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 18:25

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

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

Cherrysoup · 14/01/2017 21:44

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

LouMumsnet · 14/01/2017 22:06

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.

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.

AngieMumsnet · 15/01/2017 21:52

Is this just happening on iPads?

BakeOffBiscuits · 15/01/2017 21:58

Mine was on an iPad

SparkleShinyGlitter · 15/01/2017 22:00

Yes mine is on an IPad

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.

AngieMumsnet · 15/01/2017 22:58
