We've been getting reports of some pretty bad ads and stuff recently. See the newspost about it HERE.
If you've seen an adult ad, had your browser redirected to another site, or saw anything on The Duck that seemed just plain sketchy please report it to us in this thread.
Alternatively, you can send a PQ to myself or ozoneocean, or email me at hippievannews@gmail.com
Please do your best to provide us with the following:
1. Any evidence you can gather: screenshot, url, source code of the ad.
2. What type of machine is being used (PC/Mac/Tablet/Phone/whatever)
3. Browser
4. Country/State (we suspect this may be a regional issue, but we’re not sure)
And any other info you think might be useful!
If you can't get all of that, please let us know anyways. The more evidence we can gather on this issue, the better.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY - REPORT IT HERE
Thanks for the info Genjoke. Any specifics though? If you could give us even a few names of the antimalware stuff?
:)
So far We've had reported in that vien: Java update, Firefox update, Flash update, and PChealthboost update.
On this site and no other normal site. This site is etting exactly as dodgey as video streaming and song lyric sites. I would bet $100 USD that most free porn tube sites are cleaner than here.
Just collecting these here to make things a little bit easier…
I'm not getting these on my PC where I have adblock, but on my iphone I'm continually getting redirected to this game:
…as well as another one called Clash of Clans. I've also been redirected to explicit adult websites a few times, and see the same ads as kawaii does.
I had the same problem as Genejoke - a popup with only an "OK" button overlaid the screen so I couldn't go forward and back. I'm on Android.
One of the links in question was lovelinks.us/red/mobo/360lp.php
Reposting from Locoma's newspost comment:
–
I caught this screenshot of a redirect yesterday. The search bar specifically names nym1.ib.adnxs.com and when I looked it up, it is a type of malware.
——
UPDATE: You know, this is a crapshoot, but I just disabled Java on my safari browser then cleaned out the history and cache. I know Java can be a source of really bad malware. I am now not seeing any ads, but I also cannot see the featured comics on the front page. I will keep my fingers crossed that this can be a temporary solution.

After disabling JavaScript, I have not been bothered with any ads for hours (and counting). This is how I now see the welcome page:
Copying this here from the newspost:
Also, don't know if this is useful, but the url before I get redirected to whatever crazy site appears to be this: http://tracking.msales.com/incoming/click.php?b=153&rc=3
Just got it again. This one:http://lovelinks.us/wang/mobo/360.php
OK! It just happened at 4pm sharp. This url "http://www.updating-your-browser.org/Firefox-DE/" opened itself in a new tab while I was reading the latest updates of "Demons Mirror".
If anyone is really curious, I'll be happy to provide a full translation, but I think the short version "Click OK to prove you're an idiot" should be sufficient. ;)
It doesn't seem to be linked to the comic or certain pages though - it didn't do this when I went back and forth to reload the page. (btw. I'm using Firefox 26, German version "für Yahoo Deutschland yahoode 1.8" and the help screen assures me it's up to scratch).
This one seems to have run in the background, keeping the comic I wanted to see from loading. It only appeared when I hit the "stop" button.
They're telling me in very broken German (Google Translate?) that I am (sic!) currently an outdated Java Plugin. This is the URL: http://www.autopartswarehousei.com/DE/?s1=HmXxDNLCMADdfHMBAAAAALvybwAAAAAAAgAQAAoAAAAAAP8AAAABEXf6RwAAAAAAb8J4AAAAAADhj4kAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABmlhUAAAAAAAIAAwAAgD8A-90gY0MBAAAAAAAAADQ3MGY3Yzk2LTc2MjItMTFlMy1iOGU4LWVmNGUwNTQzYmEzYQAAAAAAAAA=&s2;=26109&s3;=DE&s4;=264382&s5;=24345821
and this is its source code:
Erkennt veralteten Java Plug-Institle>
I came across this article today, which I suspect is at least a part of what's happening here. http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/06/shady-app-install-ads-are-automatically-redirecting-mobile-users-to-app-store-google-play/
Had a good chuckle just now. Instead of a comic page I wanted to see, I got redirected to this link: http://adobe.softpoor.pw/FlashPlayer3/C/DE/update.php?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers&browser_type=KHTML&dualoffer=false
.
So far so good. This is nothing new, but can you guess what it said on that page?
