Oh my God the redirects are bad on mobile. I can't use the site at
Thanks for posting. I don't think anyone was asking for or expecting a response for EVERY post...but I think it's reasonable to expect a mod post after 40+ posts from today alone in this thread, especially with the multiple threads being locked, especially with the difficulty people are having even posting in the ad reporting thread because of malicious ads, and especially given there hasn't been a mod post in here in a week or so if I'm not mistaken.The topic is being investigated. While a response cannot be made to every post, the matter is serious and not bring ignored.

Perfect thank you.InformationWe've urgently contacted our ad agency about this latest outbreak. Thank you for the reports; the detail and links should help us get a grip on it as soon as possible.
Since the issue seems unusually severe I have temporarily suspended displaying all ads on mobile for now.

InformationUpdate: Our ad agency has purged all providers they believe these issues could possibly be coming from. They will now restore ads one provider at a time to ensure a lasting resolution. They will be monitoring this thread closely and if the issues return (which we hope they will not), that will mean they can identify which provider is responsible. Towards this end please keep posting and reporting if you see the redirects crop up again like they were before. Thank you!
I realize that this is likely a substantial ask, but are there alternative ad agencies out there that might be able to provide a higher / more proactive level of service around malicious ad detection and removal? Completely eliminating the bad actors is impossible, but I can't personally remember a time in the last decade where I've been hit by this sort of hijack on any of the other sites that I frequent.InformationUpdate: Our ad agency has purged all providers they believe these issues could possibly be coming from.

We do believe that our agency is better than most; one of the main reasons we partnered with them was because we were impressed by the tools they have to deal with bad providers. This sort of severe breakdown is unusual, and they were very responsive (on a weekend no less) in addressing it once the alarm was raised. Many, many agencies would do worse.I realize that this is likely a substantial ask, but are there alternative ad agencies out there that might be able to provide a higher / more proactive level of service around malicious ad detection and removal?

Thanks for all you do here. If there's anything us regular users can do above and beyond reporting the issues when we see them, let us know.
Same happened to me just now on Chrome (Android), loading Watched threads.
Yup, had this happen a few times today. In the US if that makes a difference.Hijacks/redirects are back on mobile in France, same as last outbreak.
The site is completely unusable on ios safari today due to exactly the same issue I had last friday: Constant redirects (Every 10 seconds or so) to us.defensed870wz.online/cor_xs
It seems to be some garbage scamming site pretending to be Correos (The spanish postal service).
This is happening to me too in the US. I got redirected to a paypal gift card giveaway and again to some video that I clicked away from immediately.Yup, had this happen a few times today. In the US if that makes a difference.
