    I didn't get screenshots, but I just clicked on page 3 of "its hard to win in the playoffs without cheating" in the Jets forum and got redirected to adult friend finder.

    I'm on a samsung chromebook, using chrome obviously.

    Update vbulletin. Site has a hole and the outdated version could be a growing problem.

    which means its happening in Linux too (chromebooks are Linux) . Yup my guess its the forum as most likely it isn't something someone downloaded. Also i know, im a bit late to the topic (haven't read the entire thread yet)

    re: main site as opposed to messageboard

    on that other forum, they said it's vbulletin-related

    Never had any pop ups on tapatalk or any other problems on iphone

    I haven't had any attacks for over 2 days now.
    This redirection problem that people have experienced also never happened to me, maybe norton stopping it in time

    Meantime my credit card had a fraudulent charge on it 3 days ago. I called the credit company and asked them to cancel the card and send me a new one. I suggest you guys check your credit cards and make sure there isn't any unknown charge. I don't say this is related but who knows maybe it is Better be safe.
