Anyone else getting this when browsing PRC on iPhone or iPad? Literally just reading posts here and safari snaps to this page. Sometimes it snaps me to AppStore also. Is this a spam thing or new CF feature?
CNN just reported "we're hearing from sources that the Russians have hacked into an American car enthusiasts' website which contains a KKK-like political forum; we cannot confirm this report"
Yep. As stated there, I get it consistently on Mobile version of the site, but never on Full version of the site - both on my iPhone.
I'm not an IT guy, but I have suggested that the fact that it never happens in Full site version on my iPhone indicates that there apparently is some aspect of the Full version that maybe could be incorporated into the Mobile version to make it also immune to the problem.
I can't explain why my iPhone is apparently immune to the problem on the Full site while others report that they get the attacks on the Full site. Perhaps there is a setting in the phone that eliminates the problem when on the Full site that whoever controls the CF site could discover as being important to coming up with a universal solution.
I ONLY use the non mobile version, desktop I guess, and I get it. Maybe 3x a week.
You might get it a lot more if you used the Mobile site (not advisable for other reasons), but that is speculation on my part. When I used the Mobile site, it would come in spurts, but it would happen 5 to 10 times a day, and, as said, not ever once on Full site.
Nexus phone with Android 7.1.1 here and I would get the redirect pop ups at least daily if I spent much time on CF. Once it pops up it was a pain to get back out of it, too.
I switched to the AdBlock browser and the problem is gone. Unfortunately, the browser isnt all that great and has trouble with posting replies. There used to be an AdBlock app that worked as an HTTP proxy but Google had it removed from the play store and they stopped development, it appears.
Definitely a PIA!! Doesn't happen on other sites. I have to constantly clear the cache on my browsers to stop it until it happens again on both mobile and full sites. Every time I log onto this site, my security program asks if I'm sure I want to log on this unsecured site...
