Rerouted to AFF...

It's only happened to me, so far, on Apple products with the Safari browser. At home, that's all there is, except in the abandoned PC museum...

I think that is Apple's way of thinking ahead- making sure I'm not lonely!

But at work, PC, Firefox- pretty sure it just can't get through.
 
Well, to be accurate, I'm not really getting anything porn related popping up on my PC. All I've gotten is some sort of login prompt from malta.accountservergroup.com:2096. Not sure what the heck that is, but a quick Google search shows them as being legitimate at something.

So far I haven't gotten anything today. Haven't tried access this site via my laptop using IE, however, on this PC with the Maxthon browser.
 
Oh, while I am thinking about it, watch out for Google ads that might trigger with a "mouse over" event. It might be subtle, with a delay before triggering the event in the ad's code, so you might have to pay close attention to where the mouse cursor is wandering off to.
 
Thanks for that Dave. I will be running one now to. Yesterday was better but today I was hit as soon as the phone started going to this site. It is really getting annoying.
 
Had another pop up today, different site (nudity involved) on my phone. Ran antivirus and it didn't find anything. Eek.
 
Well, this is strange. I have yet to get the "adultfriendfinder" redirect that a lot of people have mentioned here and on FaunaClassifieds, but I just submitted a reply on my CorvetteFlorida.com website and THEN got the redirect from that site. And that site isn't even on my server. I'm using another service for my lower traffic sites that isn't even in the same data center.

Now CorvetteFlorida is also running Google ads and it also is fed an ad from my FaunaAds.com website, but the only ad there is my own for another Corvette related website I run.

Beats the heck out of me.....
 
Both yesterday and today my malwarebytes program has popped up when I logged in here with a malicious site alert. I can take a screen shot next time if you want.
 
Server techs got done scanning the server and found one possibly infected file in my serpenco.com domain. It's a script in a test shopping cart program that I haven't even looked at in years, much less used. Heck, I don't even remember the admin password to it any longer and couldn't check it out. Besides that, nothing else showed up.

I may try to disable some of the ad scripts on this site tomorrow to see if it makes any difference.
 
Chalk me up to the list of users of apple products (both my iphone 4 and ipad 1st gen) via safari getting the redirect. I get the redirect on either 3G or wifi connections. The current wifi I'm on is suppose to be heavily secured due to my location, fwiw.

I also got this redirect a couple months ago on my pc via ie 10. Spybot s&d, malwarebytes, norton, and trend micro (house call) all showed that system clean, though ironically my main hdd died on me wednesday. Thankfully it only had oh...all my saved emails, programs, and os installed on it.
 
Came to check on my new favorite thread and bam! got me again. I wasn't fast enough to monitor the whole process, but these were the sites that it redirected me to:

You can block this action on your own machine, Windows is easy, I think Mac is about the same, but Android can't be done without rooting and I doubt IOS allows you the access. Here's an example: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Hosts-File-in-Windows . You can block the first two sites, but I doubt they stay the same. Blocking adultfriedfinder should be a permanent fix though. You might want to find a hosts file to copy/paste into your machine that has a lot of this garbage already weeded out.

Rich, I would check the ad server / actual ads like you mention, and I would also check to see if your vbulletin templates have been modified recently. This is a pretty old version of vbulletin and the bad guys know how to hack it and add themselves as admin. Then they drop a little script in here or there and often go unnoticed. If this is the case it wouldn't be any actual files on your server, just an html snippet within the template or database somewhere.

It's definitely not anyone's computers, but an issue delivered by the servers involved. It probably has nothing to do with what anyone's personal setup is. But yes, cleaning your own machines afterward is a definite good idea.
 
For additional information I have gotten the pop up on my PC using chrome with an ad blocker installed.

I also got it on my kindle fire with silk.
 
I disabled most of the ads on the site, so let's see if that makes any difference.
 
Any reports? Sorry, but I'm not going to have the ads disabled for long....
