I'm viewing the site on mobile (chrome) in full site view, and today I started getting redirected to one of those phishing sites trying to say I got 143 viruses from watching porn.
While I don't care much for a lot of the adds I see here, getting redirected is unacceptable. Find the culprit.
We are trying to determine if this is one of our ad providers. Do you remember what pages or pages you got the take over ads on?
Hello,
On 9/28/16 I clicked a link in the mmorpg daily digest while using my iOS / Gmail app and was redirected to findvic.com, advertising monetary winnings.
I believe I clicked on the story for "Dark And Light: A Look At A Breathtaking Realm".
It is not the ad banner because the only ad banner is the Wargaming one "when happened to me".
I got a redirect as soon as i clicked on a random forum users thread about NCSOFT boycotting someone.The only thing i can think that is loading is the cookies/trackers unless there is an attempt by this site to load popup ads.
BTW i do not even own a mobile device,this happened on my PC.Unfortunate that i was unhappy and quickly clicked to close the ads,so i cannot remember what the ads were for but i do remember 1 of the two popup ads was related to gaming. I should also make note that nobody else in that thread seem to comment on a popup ad so it seems to be randomly generated by this site,so this i assume means it can popup on any thread at any time.
Almost seems like this site has a virus.

I have been trying for days to replicate this and I cannot make it happen on my PC or my phones/tablets. I shut off all network ads for mobile devices (ios and android) so the only ads being delivered to those devices are our internal ones (currently TERA, Warships and Liberators).

We've turned off one of the ad networks we suspect is pulling this shady sh*t. Please report if you still encounter the redirects.
When I blocked ads, the problem went away, so it's something in your ads. I tried unblocking ads to see if it was fixed, and just now got redirected to www . wpvresearchgroup . com
