Porn appearing!

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?

Just changed to shag city . Co . U.K.

Thanks for that. Not.

HandbagCrab · 17/01/2017 02:59

Shag city here - nice when I'm doing a night feed. Safari on iPad.

BeyondTheStarryNight · 17/01/2017 14:34

Mine is iPad. Warning, screenshot attached that is rather inappropriate...

bloody porn people using "gender" too, they get extra irritated points from me for that!!

BakeOffBiscuits · 17/01/2017 14:53

Ive just had the same one as Beyond

What is happening MNHQ?

wasonthelist · 17/01/2017 22:09

This is far from the first time and it doesn't happen on other web forums I visit - why doesn't Mumsnet stop it - is it an inevitable consequence of accepting advertising from pretty much anyone?

BeyondTheStarryNight · 17/01/2017 22:15

Since this afternoon, my mn has been mindnumbingly slow. Coincidence?
(Cache cleared and restarted already, btw)

AngieMumsnet · 17/01/2017 22:24

Please let me assure you we definitely do not accept advertising from anyone, we have very strict blocks and rules in place, unfortunately the fraudsters are always finding ways to bypass security.
I am currently working with our partners to see what additional measures we can put in place, I will update on this thread.

Thanks

Which basically means

We haven't got a clue. Grin

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/01/2017 22:57

So why doesn't it happen on any other website I look at? Confused what measures do they put in PLACE to stop it happening? This has been going on for MONTHS.

SoupDragon · 18/01/2017 09:19

I've just had this pop up my iPad. Never had one before.

Full redirect rather than just a pop up ad.

SoupDragon · 18/01/2017 09:21

So why doesn't it happen on any other website I look at?

Because they aren't being targeted.

HandbagCrab · 18/01/2017 09:38

Dh suggests it's clickjacking from what I've said, it's his area of expertise.

BeyondTheStarryNight · 18/01/2017 10:26

Yeah mine was a full redirect. I think I may have clicked (or intended to) the active button underneath discussions of the day. Don't remember very well now though!

KatherineMumsnet · 18/01/2017 10:55

Morning everyone,

Once again, we really do apologise.

This is very much top priority, and tech are working hard to find a solution.

We'll keep you updated once we have some more information. Flowers

AngieMumsnet · 18/01/2017 13:38

Hi All,

Have there been any more unwanted popups/redirects since midday today?

SparkleShinyGlitter · 18/01/2017 13:55

Not any today for me so far

Iwant2move · 18/01/2017 19:56

Yes. A porn site just popped up. I'm on an ipad.

wasonthelist · 18/01/2017 21:44

Have there been any more unwanted popups/redirects since midday today?

So we are in charge of testing/monitoring then?

You made some changes but you don't know if they worked?

Not very reassuring.

Oldieandgoldie · 18/01/2017 22:24

Yes, about two minutes ago. A link to 'would you like to see my photos?'.
On iPad.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 19/01/2017 00:15

This just happened to me too.

On iPad using Safari.

When I posted on a thread I was redirected to a porn site. I didn't think to screenshot it but attached is my recent history showing the sites if that helps at all. There doesn't seem to be a way to copy the links without clicking on them again which I'm not keen to do!

I just got redirected to a dodgy site on my iPad Pro.

IAmcuriousyellow · 19/01/2017 18:45

Happened to me Tuesday, I'm on iPad Pro and pick up MN from Facebook. I got the wanking woman.

Gluetap · 19/01/2017 18:50

Just clicked on a thread and got redirected to a click to win site. Pages are also taking forever to load. I'm on an iPad.
