Atom Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 There I was browsing the site and it took off to go somewhere else. This only happens on this website. Something is up with malicious ads again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 There have been a few different attacks over the last couple of years. If it happens again could you please record the url it's trying to send you to? I suspect it's not from an ad, since we're using google ads, although it could happen. Either way, the more details the better so I can track them down! Thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Here's a non-update: I've found some mention of this on the interwebs, but nothing conclusive. If you can find a pattern of when it hits then I can try and trigger it and trace the injection. For example the last one happened when you came to the forum via google or another search engine. If you came directly here then the redirect wouldn't trigger. So if you notice a pattern then please let me know. As of now, I haven't been redirected from od|force.

Atom Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I guess Firefox has acknowledged that this is happening and has named it "malvertising". Google offers a link for reporting such ad forgeries on this page. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/i-found-fake-firefox-update Edited October 7, 2016 by Atom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
