Pop ups again
 
Just started getting them on my iPad tonight. Time Warner advert pop ups.

Thanks for letting us know. When you next see one, can you please take a screenshot and post it here?

Sarlacc 12-04-2018 06:01 PM

Yeah. Hasn’t happened again.

IB Jason 12-04-2018 06:55 PM

Glad to hear that! Thanks for letting us know.

I also got one from the same site.

Unfortunately, these rogue pop-ups have started appearing all around our network this past week. We have a filter in place that can preemptively block such ads, but one rogue advertiser found a way around it. As we feed new information into the filter, it'll get better at blocking the ads. So if you see a redirect when browsing the site, please take a screenshot, post it here, and I'll share it with our ad team.

Thanks!

Is the link itself beneficial at all? I'm trying to find a way to provide the most value to isolate and nip it in the bud and not understanding how the screenshot can be helpful (forgive my ignorance)

Great question. Yes, the URL can help too. We tend to ask for screenshots of where people are redirected because it includes both the top-level URL and the content of the page itself. For example, your screenshots are able to tell us the redirects go to a site called giftenterentrega.desi and that the ads' content centers around a fake ISP giveaway. But if you'd like to also include the specific URL of the page you end up on, there could be some commonalities within those too that can help us filter faster.

Thanks!

Sure thing :thumbsup: I can send you the source dump too if that's helpful as well :shrug:

What? If they sent me a KFC coupon I totally would have clicked through. Their loss.

Also :rofl: at the post captured in thoiboi's last screenshots :bitelip:

Thanks for the additional screenshots and source code. We should hopefully be able to get to the bottom of all this soon!

Thanks! Hopefully the issue wanes over the weekend, but please let me know if it doesn't.

Royki5cp 12-14-2018 07:58 PM

Yes, I am probably will give this isite a rest until these pop ups go away! A real nuisance!

thoiboi 12-17-2018 11:13 AM

There was another similarly named pop up that came up yesterday but I was too busy enjoying my weekend to post it :tomato:


Can't you just block all .desi domains as they seem somewhat nefarious..?

IB Jason 12-17-2018 01:24 PM

The tricky part is that the domains are usually masked when first presented to our ad partners, so it requires essentially reverse engineering the redirects to determine how they're getting into the system. We'll continue to do so until all the rogue ads have been preemptively blocked.

thoiboi 12-17-2018 06:04 PM

:bored::annoyed:


Well then I guess we'll just have to continue treating the symptom because they're smarter than us

Thanks for letting us know! I passed along the screenshot and URL to our ad team and they're looking into it.
