Ad taking over Browser

[impostersyndrome]

Hello, I’m about to see if it’s a problem at my end, but wondering if anyone is getting a pop up from “ searchoeper” offering a free gift (too busy fighting it from redirecting me to read the details). Obviously not legit though, so beware.

Also been getting this ad popping up, in fact it last did it 2 minutes ago, on my Samsung s8 (using chrome) when I wasn't even touching the phone screen so no chance that I have misclicked.

It's been happening for the last 2 or 3 days

Have also had this on iPhone 6s quite a few times since yesterday evening. At first I thought I must have accidentally touched something but I now know i definitely haven't.

Screenshots - the 'Congratulations' box comes up first, when you click on 'close' the next page comes up and won't allow you to go back to the MN page you were on.

I’m getting this too on my iPhone.

Also getting this on my samsung. Only on mn and has been happening since yesterday

Same again this morning on my iPad. The only way out is to press the back key. Not sure if this is malware. Hoping mumsnet hq will see this and say.

Just wanted to add I’ve been getting this too on my iPhone for the last few days.

Yes I'm getting this too, when I've clicked through from Mumsnet email. No way to get out of it.

I’ve been getting this for the past 2 days stopping me from logging in

Been getting this too, just started a thread sorry didn’t see this one! Very annoying!

I wonder if we should alert mumsnet HQ. I think I’ll report my post. Though could just be malware they’d generally around, if that’s the term.

Me too, bloody annoying. It’s only happening on MN tho.

In the meantime I wouldn't click to close. Use back button or close browser.

Off to investigate how to clean my iPad.

Hello everyone - thanks for letting us know and we're really sorry about the pop-ups - we're looking into this now.

Thanks. I’m just updating the software on my iPad and iPhone as it can’t do any harm. Very wary of random device cleaning companies..

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you know we are aware of the issue and have reached out to all our partners, will keep you updated on the issue but for now if you do see this popup just close it down by clicking on the X.

Thanks

“Reached out”!

Clicking on the x is not a good idea, as it opens the ad. Best to click on the back key.

Grr, I’m getting this constantly too. Safari/iPhone

Still happening this morning...

I am getting this too on my iphone

Getting this on iphone only and only on mumsnet (website, don’t have app). completely agree with impostersyndrome on both counts!

I've just had the pop up for the fifth time. It happens when accessing Mumsnet from the daily email stories. I have to close the page down completely to get rid of it.

Have this too on my ipad (in safari) . Similar to one a few months back, only way to get out of it is by closing the tab.

Android phone using Chrome (in incognito) browser. I can get rid of the pop ups by pressing the back button about twice. As others have said, it's been going on a couple of days.

I'm getting the same thing, iphone 6x using Chrome. Thanks for investigating MNHQ

iphone 6s I mean. It's only affecting MN
