Ads redirecting android phones to malicious sites

[jsimenhoff]

Hi Ryan,
I mentioned you on twitter as I'm trying to get an email address for you. I work for a media company experiencing similar issues and was hoping we could be of help to one another.
Thanks.

PM to help, thanks.

Also happening to me, it’s frustrating because I like your articles but can’t read them!

How is this still happening???

If it really is an ad problem then why not redactedyour current provider and use someone else?

I like your articles but can only read at home on desktop.




No profanity outside the social forums.

Unfortunately we have to know which ad provider it is. We have multiple.

If you're able to reproduce it, please drop me a line. It would be great to get your help so that we can narrow down the source.

I'm getting the same thing. I'm use to this kind of thing only from certain corners of the internet, not Anandtech. One day when I can be bothered I'll get my phone hooked up via the chrome remote debugger and find the offending code.

Would you mind e-mailing me on this issue? It would be an immense help and allow us to find which ad provider is supplying these malicious ads.

Thank you

Giving me some nice memories of this thread, opened up CNN and get a pop up and redirect to some you've won amazon scam.

I've gotten hit with this one several times over the last couple of weeks when on my Samsung S7 and browsing the forums:

I have to close my browser because it won't let me get out of it otherwise.

can confirm this happened to me over the weekend. I kept thinking it was my phone because it happened on this site and another car forum that i visit.
