Hello everyone - we're really sorry about this. Thanks for letting us know and for sharing the screen shots - we're looking into what's going on now.

We're really, really sorry about this. Please do bear with us - we're looking into this and will have it sorted ASAP.

If anyone feels comfortable in doing so, please could you contact us and let us know your location? Can be vague, like 'London', or the beginning of a postcode - it'll help our adops team identify where the issue is located.

Just report to us to share privately. Flowers

@Weathergirl1

Haven't read the full thread but has anyone tagged *@MNHQ* in yet? Just seen the same pop up. Android phone using Chrome mobile site in incognito mode (so can't take a screenshot)

We're aware and looking into it now. We'll have it sorted ASAP. Flowers

@TheLidoOfThighs

We seem to have most of the country covered already Grin

Yup, definitely not specific to one location! Thanks so much again for all the information, folks.

Hi folks

Is this continuing as we speak?

@QOD

Constantly I’ve stopped bothering to reply to threads as I just win ...

Since 11.45? If so, could you provide a screenshot?

@QOD

Well this is my third response and perhaps it’s stopped !!!

Our team are on it. If there's any new issues as of 11.45 please let us know, and upload screenshots!

@TheLidoOfThighs

I’ve just tried back on the mobile site. It’s not happening, but the caveat is I’m only seeing mumsnet ads, e.g. for the book, no external ones.

That's fine, thanks for letting us know. Flowers

@AgentProvocateur

Still happening. When I tried to open this thread, actually.

Can you show us a screenshot of the ones happening past 11.45?

@FluffytheGoldfish

Just happened again on my Samsung phone. Took screenshots but can't attach them as it keeps redirecting me. I'm posting from my tablet now (hasn't happened on here yet). Location Glasgow.

Can you email us the screenshots? [email protected]

@PinkyU

I’m also having this issue. Am I supposed to be doing something to make it stop?

Has the site been hacked, is our personal data at risk?

Just give us screenshots and let us know devices/browsers if possible!
It's a dodgy popup issue - nothing going on with hacking etc, don't worry!

@FluffytheGoldfish

Have sent it now.

Thank you. Flowers

Thanks so much, all. Really sorry that this is still happening - hang in there, we're doing our best to get this sorted.

Hi, thanks for all your reports and screenshots on this issue which have been really appreciated.

We now know that this was a global attack on ad servers across multiple sites, and we're continuing to investigate the cause.

If it happens again, please let us know at: [email protected]

Hi folks

We're really sorry that this is still happening.
We really need links to the spam and screenshots - can we have these?

Hello,

Thanks both. Are you located in France by chance?
