Malicious ads or redirects?

[gbeirn]

Anyone seeing redirects when visiting the main page? Happens on my iPhone with both 5G or WiFi connections. It isn’t consistent, happens periodically.

Confirmed, also getting redirected to full page ad sites on mobile. Someone's getting hijacked.

Happened to me too.

Happened to me to when opening a Thread in the 'main site' Forums and clicking on the link for the first time.
(Redirect got Blockd by adblocker)

Thanks for this.

We just pulled all ads from the main site. Nothing has changed on the main site so likely this was bad ads. I sent a ticket into the hosted ad server folks, but ads are not coming back until this is confirmed to not be an issue.

I have the folks rebuilding STH. We should have a completely new instance tested and online by the morning.

I'm still getting this from the main page.

I got some bad redirects yesterday afternoon (MT) on iOS safari to a typical "your iPhone is compromised!!!111" site. glad to see they've all been removed

Site migrating this morning? Getting what seems like a mobile page while on desktop and the hamburger menu is broken

Yea, the team worked like mad yesterday. Rebuilt the site from scratch. Still not at 100% but we did the cutover just after midnight Pacific.
