I'm getting fake virus warning popups and a toolbar downloaded when I went to 4chan.org from my phone. Is it just me and my phone?
>>
>>56245030
Mine does as this as well.
>>
>>56245037
Does it happen with any other websites for you? It's only 4chan for me so I don't think my phone has unassociated malware.
>>
Don't bother using a phone...4Chan is unusable.

Use clover.

Its an ad. Your phone isn't infected with any sort of malware. View the front page source on any machine and you'll see it

I was having this problem with a motog with virgin mobile. It was happening on multiple sites. I figured that my mobile ISP's DNS was being hijacked.

Using firefox with no script and changing the DNS on the mobile data stopped this.
>>
>>56245827
Lots of sites have this shit hard coded in. Especially if its porn related. Its not always that complicated of an issue
>>
>>56245842

I believe you. Perhaps noscript would have been sufficient, but it actually made me pretty butthurt so I went the extra mile.
>>
Someone should seriously complain to Hiroshima Nagasaki about this
>>
>>56245030
You could check out other sites that use alternate ports like 8443 or 443 and see if the problem percists.
>>
Wait? 4chan has ads?

I had to stop using lightning browser because it constantly crashes. it only started happening after the insane pop-ups from 4chan. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

He's known for shady ads already

I wiped my phone and still got the fake virus warning popup more than once. It must be one of the homepage ads then?
>>
why the fuck would any of you connect to a place like this through your cell phone, and i am assuming you're using mobile data too
>>
>>56249715
What is your point? That has nothing to do with the homepage having malicious ads.

lol, that is the point

>connect in the most insecure way possible
>why did this happen to me?????

Linux, firefox, noscript, requestpolicy, cookie monster, ublock origin, and https everywhere

set browser caches to 0, disable clipboard events, set popups to zero, enable all clearonshutdown functions, disable webrtc, disable pocket and hello, do not send referrers, disable history, cookies, disable geo, disable fucking everything

then you make permanent whitelist exceptions on cookiemonster, requestpolicy, and noscript for the sites you use regularly

then you have a 2nd profile that only has ublock which you STRICTLY use for bank, email, online purchases

that is how you browse the internet, please leave now and don't come back until you have some more experience. try reddit r/privacy and work your way up to here

>rabbitfucker
what else was i expecting from 4chan?
>>
>>56249836
>the owner is the site is enabling malicious activity towards its users
>lol you just don't know how to stay safe XD go to reddit XD
why are you defending this?
>>
Wut. I'm using vanilla chrome on Android and have never gotten a single pop up from the chan. What the fuck are you retards doing?
>>
>>56250002
i guess i can see how i could be interpreted that way, but that doesn't make my point invalid by any means

yes, its total shit that this fucker is serving malware, but if you are on /g/, you shouldn't have been seeing ads to begin with, nor should you have even been aware of it due to your already existing security net

i didn't even know about this until i read your post, this is the way in which you failed. if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't have known about this either.
you can still redeem yourself and continue posting here if you follow the steps i gave you.

otherwise, go to reddit /r/privacy, and when you're better acquainted with these things, then come back here

>>56250110
I browse from my PC 99% of the time and know how to keep it protected, I already do most of what you said on it. I didn't know about the malicious ads until I decided to take a quick look at 4chan on my phone during a poop, and kept getting these malicious popups. It doesn't make me feel comfortable using the rest of the site even on my PC if the owner is allowing this to happen.
>>
>>56250324
i take back everything

>poop
you're an actual shitposter
>>
>>56250432
I wasn't posting though
>>
>>56250062
Are you on https? There's your answer
>>
>>56250062
Do you go to the homepage or straight to the boards? The boards are fine, it's the homepage that has them.
>>
>>56245822
yea its an add that redirects you, its pretty retarded.
>>
>worrying about privacy on a chinese fingerpuppet website
