Strange inescapable screen

While I was on this topic page I got this screen and had to crash out of the site completely to get rid of it.

These things are usually “man in the middle” attacks so it’s quite concerning to get this so soon after all those adverts with the bloodied faced women keep popping up.

Hi OP

Can you let us know where this happened on site? A URL to the Mumsnet page you were on would be really helpful. We're keen to investigate so any extra information is really helpful, and thanks so much for the screenshot.

Hi there @WingsofRain. We've had a look at this and we don't think there's anything to worry about. It looks like an ordinary ad rather than anything nefarious. If it pops up again, maybe don't click on it but let us know and send us a screengrab. If anyone else sees anything similar, please do post here, too.

Hi again @WingsofRain. It looks from your screengrab like you're not actually on Mumsnet when you to the screengrab. We're assuming you clicked on an ad you saw on a thread to get here. Do you happen to remember what the ad was for? That would help us invesitgate this further.

Thanks @WingsofRain, has it happened since?
@KimWexlerGoodman thanks so much for the screenshots. Can we also ask if you have seen this since?

Thanks all, we've blocked the URL visible in the screenshots but if they continue to come in, please can you let us know? And provide as much information (including screenshots) as possible.
