Mobile ad redirecting to seriously questionable content


Recommended Posts

There is simply no way to make this bigger than it is. Thus, creating a new thread for visibility.

 

As another user pointed out in an older thread (https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1245018-another-bad-ad/page-5#entry596846420) the current ad on Android is redirecting to either an infested download (modified APK) or pushing an installation via opening the Play Store directly.

 

The site is not accessible on Android and you are losing users.

 

This happens on both Chrome and Firefox, and probably any other browser with Javascript.

 

The ad I am seeing is an Aliexpress ad with an image icon next to it:

Disabling Javascript prevents the ad from loading.

 

Requesting desktop site presents a different ad that is safe.
