Lg phone
Chrome
It happened opening a thread in Sporting Events
It happened most recently just before I bumped this thread today. The other times were also likely happening in SE

I got the same redirect twice earlier today. It was the Trump thread in politics. Using Chrome on my android phone. See below.

Thanks Mat, my details are exactly the same as DonkJr's below. Except that I was in the BBV LC/NC thread, where I belong.

I'm constantly getting redirected to the operyop.top spam link as well. Back button wont exit out of the page, only option is to type in a new url. Sometimes I need kill my browser, open it up again and quickly change the url before the site loads.

This is still being worked on; TPTB are trying to track it down. If anyone else has details to share as per Mat's earlier post, please do so:

A. Yesterday
B. Chrome on Android (Pixel XL, up to date software)
C. Same forums as jman.

This pop up is annoying as hell, because it seems like it disables the back button.

Just made another change. Please note if you are still seeing this now.

Also, I see the last post reporting this was last night. Did anyone see it between then and now?

Although most of my 2+2 time is on a laptop, I've recently been forced (even before the past week) to install an ad blocker on both my android tablet and phone, since seemingly half the time I click a link on here the page won't load properly.

On my android tablet I just clicked to get into SSNL, and after it loaded the page the software said it blocked 28 ads. How is that even possible for one page?

In my limited mobile browsing I have not received this in the last couple days (since the 2pm post). It was happening pretty frequently prior.

I can make the same claim. I think you licked it Chuck.

SPAM LINK INSIDE

Spoiler:

I am getting redirected to the link (or something like it in the spoiler). It happens on other parts of the site too but for some reason on this particular page it's especially aggressive.

I couldn't even edit the post and had to try a few times to ninja paste in the link before coming back to edit on my desktop.

Posted this in the other thread, but it's almost certainly malvertising being slipped through the ad server. It's been happening to me on other sites on Chrome mobile. Details in this blog:

Quote:

The typical entry points for eGobbler campaigns are legitimate ad servers that they infect coupled with one or more buy-side platforms.

They use cloaked intermediate CDN domains as part of their ad delivery. Quite often these domains sit behind at least a single layer of client-side fingerprinting.

In attempt to fly under the radar, eGobbler attempts to smuggle their payloads in popular client-side JavaScript libraries such as GreenSock.

I have noticed that sometimes when viewing on my mobile, android, device that I get browser jacked by some advert and redirected to some "android sales" site. It has happened at least once a day for the past week
