its not even just the fact this site redirects/pop ups to ads, its that these are usually virus/malware infested sites... whoever your going through advertising you might just need to switch. AVG blocked a virus from a redirect ad from this site just today..

This was their response when I emailed them earlier:


Could you provide some details on your end:

1. Your IP Address
2. Your Timezone
3. What browser are you using?
4. Type of phone


We can run a report after we gather this material to help more accurately troubleshoot your re-directs.

Thanks,

So if you can pm me that info the next time you get it, i'd appreciate it.

look at the time on the screenshot, it literally happened 15 minutes ago;

1. AT&T U verse is all they should need (service provider)
2. PST time zone (specifically bay area/north california)
3. Safari
4. iPhone 6, 128 GB version

run down of events;

Woke up, clicked on Safari app, which loaded the coli - which is already active on my Safari because I never close it (that love :wow: ), saw had some notifications, clicked on the notifications area and it instantly redirected me to that screenshot above.

Again on the phone, I dont care too much about because it has usually great anti phishing soft ware automatically built in. My desktop im more worried about especially since I run my business through it and have business emails with very private information of clients in it (so they can reserve tables, etc.)

1st time happening on my iphone (ive been redirected before on my phone, but not to a phishing site) but it happens way more frequently on desk top. Which usually when you advertise you can choose who you want to target more desk top users or mobile users, so they are probably trying to focus desk top users more because unless their own security measures are up to date its easier to steal information. (just a calculated guess)


edit: I know you dont want posters to start panicking, but you might get more results in this thread and can help find a solution if you put this in a busier section like the locker room. I dont think a lot of the site even knows this section exsists and even if they did I dont think they visit it much to even notice important threads like this. Its better to find a solution before they create a malicious enough virus/spyware ad comes through and a few hundred people get caught up getting their info stolen and the reason is because of the coli :sadcam:

Gotcha, forgot we're in different timezones.

Thanks for the info, i'll send it over now. PM me your ip address, you can google whats my ip address and it'll come up.

If you get it on desktop, do the same thing for me. I wanna get these fakkits blocked asap.
