Mobile ReDirecting iPhones to App Store

[channonite]

About six days ago there was another thread about problems experienced by iPhone users logging onto another forum when using the mobile version of the desktop application, but not when they logged in while using WiFi. In each case they found themselves redirected to the App Store to download various applications. Our forum was affected by this as well. Subsequently the incidents seemed to die down, but today it has returned with a vengeance. This time it was to try to get you to download Sky Vegas and Slots gambling apps from the App Store.

We have followed the advice we found about clearing cache, etc., but none of this has helped.

Any help, or advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi, channonite.

We've blocked multiple redirect ads over the course of this week following the threads created here and the reports automatically generated by our ad report system. The most recent blocks were performed about 3 hours and 45 minutes before this post, but may not be coming into effect until the next couple hours due to how long the block takes to enact on the end of our advertising partners.

I'll make a note for our team to check once again for new redirects reported by our automated system. If you can provide any more information about the affected devices (model, browser the redirect took place in, approximate geographic location) that will also be beneficial for comparison against the reports.

Thanks for the info. I have asked anyone seeing it happen to let me know the details you asked for.
