Fake virus page taking over

[WingsofRain]

Twice in the past twelve hours I’ve had a fake virus page appear and take over my screen while reading posts on Mumsnet. Each time it was on AIBU, but different posts.
The only way to get out of it is to close the tab.

It looks very much like a hijack or man-in-the-middle attack.

no. I am in the UK.

This for me today, and then a porn site popped up when I tried to close it down. I've only just disabled my adblocker in the last week or so and I'm going to put it back on again and just take the annoyance when signing in to Mumsnet, because I do NOT want stuff like this appearing on my screen.

It’s back again!

And again. Different URL this time: defendwarden.click

And again.

My iPad has been very slow to load pages recently. I deleted most of my apps. but that didn’t help.

I did a complete factory restart, as if I were selling the tablet. When I next logged into Mumsnet things were back to normal.

However, when I looked at the ‘men in women’s toilets’ thread the fake Macafee page came up again. I instantly closed MN completely.

Now things are slow to load again.

Posted from my phone while my iPad goes to through the factory restart again.

I’ve just had that, looking on the ‘live aid’ thread

I've also had the fake MacAffee pop up, and MN has been incredibly slow to load, sometimes doesn't load at all.

I was on the Rip Tide thread and had this page take over.

Here’s the latest one. Come on Mumsnet, get this fixed so we don’t have to keep reporting these.

Just happened again.

Had this complete page take over pretending to be from Virgin media. I didn't click on anything it just appeared.

Just had it again, have had it twice since I first posted yesterday.

3 time's yesterday.. closed page immediately.

I’ve just had a pop up from Vodafone take over the whole page- pic attached. I was on the teenagers forum, not in a thread.

Bumping this as same thing happened to me twice tonight.

Tried to grab the URL but it now redirects to Walmart?

Again tonight,

Just had this too but quickly switched to pornographic photographs, full on vagina shots. Quickly closed down before searching directly for here. Sorry didn’t think to get other details. Off to change password.

Had the macafee one again just now.

@JoMumsnet still getting the soamscanber

maybe time to give MN a break.

just happened again and site gets stuck all the time -
DO NOT CLICK LINK OBVIOUSLY shieldnest.cfd/avs/en/mob/global-bb.php?c=1mz11pcy3z7oz0&k=87e01bab509c9807c693cddf030e0e2b&country_code=GB&carrier=BT&country_name=United%20Kingdom&region=Wales&city=Newport&isp=British%20Telecommunications%20PLC&lang=en&os=iOS&osv=18&browser=Chrome&browserv=138&brand=Apple&model=iPhone&marketing_name=iPhone&tablet=2&rheight=0&rwidth=0&e=5

My image wouldn’t attach, same one I got. Going to leave mumsnet for a bit as v concerning.

I had this around lunchtime yesterday (13/7) on the AIBU Salt Path thread. It started out as a small BT prize draw pop up which I did not click on but then a whole page of large photos of graphic porn appeared. My innocent DC was sitting next to me @HebeMumsnet @JoMumsnet . I feel really angry about this. It has surely been brought down upon us by the new enforced ads situation on MN. I emailed MNHQ straight away but have not received a reply.

I had a fake BT one a short while ago. Same M.O. as the others. (iPhone Safari.)

Just had the same scanning page as in the original post - using an iPhone and was just scrolling on an AIBU post, hadn’t clicked anything. Glad it wasn’t just me!
