I have had a number of malicious advertisements that redirect me to other websites recently. I will be keeping Adblock activated until it's taken care of, as I don't want to risk getting any sort of virus because of something stupid like that. I will periodically disable it to see if the problem has been fixed, and will try to take a screenshot and get more information on it if it happens during one of those moments. As of now, this is all the info I have:

Category: Redirect
Description: requests browser updates, win free Verizon something or other, etc.
Country: United States
Device: PC running Windows 10
Browser: Chrome latest update
MAL url: https://myanimelist.net/anime/405/Blood__The_Last_Vampire


On random anime pages when i try to add them to my list i'll be redirected to scans/ads etc, it's not my pc i've scanned it and it's only MAL it happens on, I'm also reenabling adblock.

Description: The ad automatically redirects to a different page. I opened the page and stared at it for about 10 seconds before it redirected. This has happened several times, leading to a different page every time. Needless to say, every single one has seemed very fishy. Sometimes it happens in 10 seconds, sometimes it takes 20 minutes.

Description: The ad, along with many others I've encountered on this site recently, take over your browser tab, and sometimes even the entire browser window. The ad replaced the MAL tab that I had open at the time and I had to go back several times to escape it.

I generally try to keep Adblock off for MAL, but it's gotten really bad the past week or so and I hope we can get to the bottom of what's causing these ads to get through. I'll try to get the URL's whenever it happens again and update this post accordingly.

I just had this same experience, the following url is what I was re-directed to, which is why I have re-enabled ad-block.

the url looked something like this:

http: //security-i0y8kg.pw/critical.dill/?os=Windows&browser=Chrome&...personal info

it made a loud beeping sound.

same shit with wikipedia. Y'all think all of a sudden that you're freakin PBS or some shit. Like chill, nobody likes these ads or the 30 character limit, please be cool.

Ads in general on pages I don't mind too much but what I mind that I am having the page open in a tab and regularly the page gets "web browser-jacked" and redirected somewhere... without doing anything. Just having the page open over a period of time.

I don't even know what page I had open before and history back does not work because of annoying javascript alert windows.

Example target URL:

http://e8jzz.exclusiverewards.crinklier.xyz/?sov=507071299&hid=cecckgkgkgsqs&redid=41079&gsid=68&campaign_id=20&id=XNSX.-r41079-t68&impid=c2384266-c239-11e6-9da0-4e4e3e1c4387

Seriously I never experienced this kind of aggressive behavior anywhere before on the web and I sadly have to declare this a security thread.

How did you accomplish that? Not even sites like ign which are basically advertisement HQ don't do that -_-

I don't know what the problem is, but it has to do with ads because ublock removes the lag and stutter.

Hi, i just got off work, and while on the mobile site inspecting a forum, i keep getting redirected to another page. Im a bit of a chimpanzee when it comes to the internet, so may I have an email address I can send a screen cap of the offending site( it never actually loads). I can provide links to the forum where this happens.

Thank you.
I am new to the anime community, please feel free to suggest any anime for me to watch and review. List is currently in my Bio.

yea, this is one of the reasons i use ublock instead of adblocker. i can allow specific ads that i find acceptable on a site and block the rest. The funniest thing is that even if i allow ads in this way for the site, whatever plugin they are running to check for adblocker is still replacing all of the ads i'm allowing with images saying to whitelist them in my adblocker lol.
