Never happened to me. Check your history for typos. Next time it happens do a tracert and see where the server is.

It might be the new ad server that Hiroyuki has been trying out, ecpmrocks.com, misbehaving.

It's a common problem, not on your end.

The javascript on home page is below.
<script type="text/javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
var EpmadsConfig = EpmadsConfig || {ads:[]};
EpmadsConfig.ads.push({
epmads_key:"8b7317e5643cf4acd6466d65f33e0c35",
epmads_channel: "",
epmads_code_format:"ads-async.js",
epmads_ads_host:"//ecpmrocks.com",
epmads_click:"",
epmads_custom_params:{},
epmads_target_id:"epmads-8b7317e5643cf4acd6466d65f33e0c35-728x90"
});
(function () {
var sc = document.createElement("script");
sc.type = "text/javascript";
sc.async = true;
sc.src = (location.protocol == "https:" ? "https:" : "http:") + "//ecpmrocks.com\/js\/show_ads_epmads.js?pubId=14031";
var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(sc, s);
})();
/*]]>*/
</script>

I don't think this code can't redirect to any pages as long as I know.
I'm not familiar with recent javascript though.

>>363834
>sc.src = (location.protocol == "https:" ? "https:" : "http:") + "//ecpmrocks.com\/js\/show_ads_epmads.js?pubId=14031";
It injects its own javascript, it can redirect if they let it redirect. It can hijack website cookies if they want it to hijack website cookies.

Let's google your ad service.
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ecpmrocks
All the results are viruses. Get a better service.

>>363834
>>363855
To clarify, an ad service injecting javascript isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a bad thing if they don't properly vet their ads or are otherwise untrustworthy, which ecpmrocks does not. Google ad services before you use them.

>>363834
hiro!
when can we have textboards that look like >>363826 and >>363812 ?

A lot of people want the old textboards back.

>>363883
thanks for your hard work hiro-san

>>364027
The sudden spike in reported redirects over the last week isn't explained by several a bunch of people suddenly starting to mistype 4chan. It's explained by using a ad server that is known to serve redirect viruses.

>>364036
It varies from service to service and plan to plan. You can choose to only accept static images, which is completely safe. But you get less money. If you choose to do more complex ones, they'll commonly inject javascript, which can redirect the browser. It's the ad network's responsibility to make sure malicious ads don't get on it.

>>363883
Looks like the same company -- epom. What's the difference?

>>363912 seems to be still seeing redirects unless that was made before you changed it.

In any case, if they sell ads to crooks like pic related, can they be trusted? I wouldn't trust them.

>>364148
Wait, when did the front page have ads?

I thought only the boards had them.

>>363834
>var sc = document.createElement("script");
Creates a HTML's script tag.
>sc.type = "text/javascript";
>sc.async = true;
Sets an asynchronous connection with the external script and defines the type of script as text/javascript (not really needed nowadays)
>sc.src = (location.protocol == "https:" ? "https:" : "http:") + "//ecpmrocks.com\/js\/show_ads_epmads.js?pubId=14031";
This is the problem. The script sets its source to 'http://ecpmrocks.com/js/show_ads_epmads.js?pubId=14031'. You can see that the script tries to read/set HTML5's localStorage cookies. This is very dangerous.
>s.parentNode.insertBefore(sc, s);
And finally, inserts the script tag in the page.

>>363834

>>364336
same goes for you

>>364336
Cool, now give me access to the mainframe Hiro, Imma save the day

>>364337
Well, at least I told him what the code does.

If the ad server lets customers put arbitrary HTML in the frame, a bad actor can easily redirect to their own page. They don't even need to run Javascript on 4chan itself, just on their own page.

Here's a little example:
http://b.1339.cf/cbozwyv.html

This is why you need to restrict ads to images and text only, or if that's not possible on epom, find another ad server.

Has anyone actually fallen for these? They look like noticeably more convincing scams than I've seen in the past, but I can't believe that gullible people come on 4chan really. If you find yourself redirected to another site, don't you automatically look at the URL bar to see where you are? And when you see it's not where you wanted to go, don't you think, "Shit, le anonymous hackers on steroids might delete my system32"?

>>364336
If we don't keep bumping this thread, there will be more threads created about the same thing, which is bad for /qa/. Perhaps this thread should be a sticky or something if you're that worried.

Hiro dun goofed, but it sounds like it's all fixed now. Anyone can make a mistake once. The only concern is if it happens again.

OP here
You may want to switch back to whatever epom branch you were previously using. Since the switch the problem has gotten a lot worse, for me at least. Most people have adblock and only notice it on their phones so it won't be a massive deal yet. But people will start complaining soon.

4chan has a ton of users but it does not have the staff or funding to be perfect all of the time. Don't act like an entitled little bitch when a noticeable problem appears for the first time in like 10 years.

Epom seems to have been removed, but the other ad server recently added is still there and still showing ads for malware, but if Epom was responsible for the redirects, at least those will stop.

Not sure why there were two ad servers set up since I was only ever seeing one ad.

IIRC, it would make it so your machine would spam 4chan to get more people to do it. Might have had other botnet features, but I dunno.

Something as simple as a redirect would definitely catch people if the above caught anyone.

>>366114

Is there a way to end up on a malware list without the malware though. That could potentially help out the site in terms of quality.

>>366905
The closest I can think of is when 8.chan got removed from Google for CP

>>366857
I'm actually kinda surprised it didn't end up on the lists back when the general public was made aware of 4chan as a den of scary hackers and school shooters. After all, a website for "hackers" can probably hack your computer just for visiting it. Y'know, because hacking is magic and all you need to hack a computer is their IP.

>>364388

my boss fell for one of these last week. it installed some flavor of the week virus / malware on her pc. the hilarious part is that I used to handle tech support for the company before being pushed up the ladder into management earlier this year. back when I handled such things, I would have figured out how to fix her pc. Now we have an outside service perform the same work for nearly my previous salary, and they recommended that she buy a new computer, I kid you not. It's not my problem any more so who am I to say otherwise?

Money can't fix stupidity.

>>368967
They aren't on boards.4chan.org, but are still on 4chan.org (homepage, payment page). I recommend changing the exception in adbloc from 4chan.org to boards.4chan.org. That way you block the malware ads but still see J-list

>>368967

Nobody has said anything about it and the front page ads are still there. I'm guessing it's either staying and nobody cares, or Hiro hasn't gotten around to it.

4chan X just updated with a link to this thread and recommended that I block ads on 4chan. lel. Good job Asian moot.

Ad Situation Guide

1. Information

>What is happening?
Our admin is testing new ad services on the homepage and related pages. Some users reported redirects to malicious websites.

>Facts
- The ads in question were served from hxxp://ecpmrocks.c0m, which allows injecting its own Javascript and is able to redirect and hijack browsers. The script tries to read HTML5 localstorage cookies. The official ad host is Epom Market LTD.
- Ads on the boards are served by hxxp://zkcdn.n€t, which only serves images.

>Unconfirmed rumors
- ECPM may be a legit ad hosting service. However, a simple Google search leads to questionable results, since hackers can inject and distribute malicious scripts.
- Board ads may be infected. But since the distributor is not injecting scripts, it should be harmless.
- Infected downloads.

>Current Situation
hiroyuki changed ad servers. As of now, the frontpage serves ads from hxxp://bnhtml.c0m. Said ads are still running scripts.

2. Prevention/Security

>Browsers/Extensions
- For enhanced security, it is generally recommended to use a browser that supports extensions. Examples include: Firefox, Chrome.

>Competent ad/script blocking extensions:
- uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#installation
An ad blocker that uses a simple point-and-click firewall. You can decide what gets blocked or what goes through. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide
You may want to whitelist the following: @@||4chan.org @@||4cdn.org
- uMatrix: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix#umatrix
A matrix filter. Block scripts, frames and more. https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki
- NoScript, ScriptSafe: Scriptblockers.

>Software
You should always use anti-virus software.
If you are infected: Look for tools like MalwarebytesAntiMalware. Ask for help on malware support forums.

3. Actions

>Contact admins
https://www.4chan.org/feedback

>Inform others
If you know any users that post on 4chan, please link them to this thread.

So is this just happening to people who type in 4chan.org instead of boards.4chan.org/whatever? Because I have adblock off for 4chan and have never seen anything malicious.

>So is this just happening to people who type in 4chan.org instead of boards.4chan.org/whatever
Yes. Read the thread. The boards server uses different ads.

Time to switch the ol' ublock on I guess.

after having disabled ublock specifically for 4chins i'll switch it back up until this is fixed
godspeed, hiro

Honestly if you never click on ads. What does it matter if you have adblock on? Either way ad companies see they aren't making money off of you.

>>369559
Showing the ad also yields profit, just not as much.

But I've had a warning from 4chanX, advising to turn on AdBlock on 4chan.
Actually I have adblock disabled on boards.4chan.org, and enabled on 4chan.org.
I use Chrome.

Just saying one can support 4chan without having malware.
4chanX pops a warning that links here.

I'd miss the ads of loli ass with tan lines...

Hiro = hero.

>>370379
That's not supporting 4chan, that's supporting the greed-driven destruction of 4chan.

>>370379
>I'd miss the ads of loli ass with tan lines...
does anyone know where that's from? It's probably the only add I've ever clicked on here, just to see if I coult find it, but never could.

>>370398
post it and I'll find it for you

I'm experiencing this shit too.

Hiro, this never happened a single time under moot. Please don't take it lightly.
I am UNABLE to access the homepage on mobile, it force-redirects me to horseshit app ads for Candy Crush. I have to manually enter the url of the board I want.

>>364311
"I don't know" IS the adult answer you fucking child. It's a good thing to admit when you don't know something, rather than pretend you do or avoid the question.

>>371041
but when there are more than 20 people reporting that the ads he recently added cause this? and he does nothing.
>oh no idea could be lol yeah they might have malware haha
it's not like he's running 4chan on his own, there are knowledgeable developers on the team as well, at least there used to be

>>370978
>I am UNABLE to access the homepage on mobile
>mobile
And nothing of value was lost.

>>366857
Good. Then people who don't know how to browse here anyway or think for themselves will fuck off for a while.

>>371312
>Then people who don't know how to browse here anyway or think for themselves
How is 'not thinking for themselves' to avoid a site which is on a malware list for a completely legitimate reason? If it was just a false alarm to get people to not come here then I could understand, but there is actually malware on the HOMEPAGE of this site right now

>>369485
If you think that's what happening here, you are the kind of person I hope fucks off.

>>371319
Only stupid turds get malware. This would be like giving all the trolls hard at work getting idiots to hurt themselves a personal assistant. In the long run, it could be very good for the quality of 4chan.

>>371053
Hey man, I'm having trouble on mobile too and that means a serious lack of on-the-go shitposting. This stuff MATTERS.

>>371622
The solution until Hiro cares is for everyone to block ads. Are you having trouble with that?

>>371326
>In the long run, it could be very good for the quality of 4chan.
This is what I've been trying to say in previous threads. By having an entry barrier of "oh no malicious ads!" we're guaranteed to scrape off some of the newfag infestation.
The only problem I have with the ads would be if the entire site gets in trouble because of it, but with what 4chan has been through previously, I think malicious ads are very lightweight.

Where are the servers located / who runs them nowadays actually?

>>371645
>By having an entry barrier of "oh no malicious ads!" we're guaranteed to scrape off some of the newfag infestation.
It might encourage the edgy 'hackers on steroids' types though who think the malware warning is only there because of how shocking and dangerous the things/users on the site are

>>371649
I'll take those over facebook-tier newfags any day.

>>371650

Eat a dick.

And they'll find /b/ and get trolled into wiping their parents' HDD and be satisfied that they've found the right place and stay there.

>>371668
No one who does facebook is worth talking to, and you know it.

>>371645
>Where are the servers located / who runs them nowadays actually?
After digging around a little the servers are run by a company called QuadraNet, and are physically located in downtown Los Angeles.
www.quadranet.com

thanks for the virus this afternoon you fucking dick. took me 4 hours to fix it.

I don't get redirected very often but I do get ad popups a lot when I click on the webpage if I don't enable the ad blocker. What the fuck.

>>371645
It speaks to character. This decision might not personally fuck you over, but the next might.

>>371645
This place has been newfag infested since 2008. I don't think anything's going to stop the retards from clocking here.

>>372443
From coming here, not clocking. I dunno where clocking came from. I don't really care about the malware on the front page, though, desu. I don't use the front page, and I use an adblocker.

>>371649
>It might encourage the edgy 'hackers on steroids' types though who think the malware warning is only there because of how shocking and dangerous the things/users on the site are
Anon, those users have already been here since 2007

>>372543
That was eight years ago now. I'm sure there is a whole generation of edgy teenagers who haven't even heard of 4chan, given that the only things that have given us that kind of media attention in the last few years are the fappening (a large part of which was absorbed by reddit instead) and the occasional school shooter

>>370978
Good. Maybe that's what we finally need. To BAN mobile posting in general. Sure you can browse 4chan on your phone, but you can no longer post on 4chan via mobile. That goes for apps like clover for android

>>372560
It's not really a proper ban, it just means that people have to wait until they're at a computer to post. It would slow the fast boards quite significantly but it isn't like we had mobile posting in the past and I doubt many people are going to leave 4chan just because they can't post from their phone anymore

>4chan hates anime.
Yet there are about 10 boards dedicated to it, /a/ is one of the largest boards on the site and anime reaction images are common on most boards. Just accept the fact you don't belong here

>>372617
Because anime shit is unwelcome anywhere else.

Try posting anime in any of the non-containment boards and you'll see how the majority of the site thinks of anime

>>372618
That's because it it offtopic. I like video games but I am going to get angry if people post video game threads in /a/. At least on /b/ there are occasionally relevant threads posted without much complaint because the board has no topic.

>>372618
No its not. Anime is globally allowed and welcomed. There is a difference between posting images and posting offtopic, shitposter-kun

Also the only containment board is /mlp/

>>372623
Anime is cancer and is unwelcome anywhere.

Not really true. /pol/ was created as a nazi containment board and /trash/ is a catch-all containment board for anything that no other board wants

Remember the many times moot fucked up? Remember the two times the domain got hijacked, and thousands of people's IPs were logged as visiting 4chan by malicious a-holes? Remember the PHP injection? Keep your shields up and chill. 4chan has never been safe, but it's not the GNAA.

>>372557
I'm in favor of this. At the very least, a long repost timer, no image posting or any posting on pink boards for the mobile filth.

>>372645
Except those were security breaches and not moot lining his pockets.

Yeah, completely believable. It's not even like people go on /v/ to discuss Yuru Yuri or whatever's the moeshit flavour of the month now, it's literally just people using reaction images. If you're going to give anime posters shit for posting "unrelated images" you may as well give everyone shit that doesn't post, say, strictly video game only reaction images in /v/, or use only western cartoon reactions over on /co/.

SLIDE IT

>>384689

Imageboards and textboards always were slow. It was the sacrifice you made for quality and anonymity. Only three sites broke that general trend. 2ch, the textboard Hiroyuki used that was the largest forum in the world, Futaba Channel, and 4chan. And now 8ch depending on the board you use and they only popped up because mods and moot got in a huff over people discussing things they didn't like. Aside from those most of them always were slower. If anything it's slowly crashing back to the way it used to be. Bad for newfags with ADHD who need a constant stream of posts to be entertained, and a non-issue to anyone with an attention span longer than that of a gnat's dick.

>Sell 4chan to clueless guy with shady user-content history [x]

Hmm, I wonder where this train is heading...

>>388116
>Centralize text content into a massive, searchable database [ ]
It's called SQL and has existed since before day one.

>>364324
Make your own 4chan senpai

>>378957
This can't work. You need allow-popups to enable links with target=_blank
And you might also need allow-top-navigation.

>>388514
first of all:

>if the current browsing context's active document's active sandboxing flag set has the sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag set.
> Typically, there is no chosen browsing context.
> The user agent may offer to create a new top-level browsing context or reuse an existing top-level browsing context. If the user picks one of those options, then the designated browsing context must be the chosen one (the browsing context's name isn't set to the given browsing context name). The default behaviour (if the user agent doesn't offer the option to the user, or if the user declines to allow a browsing context to be used) must be that there must not be a chosen browsing context.

I.e. it does not necessarily block opening of the link, it may just be handled like a popup.

Secondly, target=_blank is cancer, there's middle-click for that.

Third: allow-top-navigation certainly is not needed, in fact, that's what's going to prevent the tab hijacking that OP is complaining about.

>>388527
>let's disable the actual ad link because target=_blank is "cancer"
ok kiddo

>>388555
my point is that ads shouldn't use that, let the user decide whether something opens in a new or the same tab.

anyway, allow-popups may be acceptable, even if undesirable. it's about not setting allow-top-navigation and the other cruft that prevents most issues.

>>388561
I'm not even sure allow-top-navigation is of any use here. The iframe is hosted on another domain. Can it even reach the outer dom.

>>388568
yeah, setting window.top.location = "http://foo.bar" is one of the few things exempt from the same-origin policy.

also, right now there is no iframe at all, it's just javascript that includes javascript from a 3rd party domain. 3rd party javascript code can do anything with the page. hence the proposal to wrap that javascript in a sandboxed iframe.

>>388569
>is one of the few things exempt from the same-origin policy.
I don't think this is true anymore. It doesn't seem to work in firefox.

And the ad on the frontpage has an iframe for me.
The JS ad tag inserts another script (invoke.js), which then inserts an iframe.

>>388575
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy#Location

>The following cross-origin access to Location properties is allowed

>>388575
>The JS ad tag inserts another script (invoke.js)

that JS already comes from the ad network, thus it has to be considered as untrusted and yet runs in the 4chan.org context. that's the whole problem.

If the ads behave "nicely" then yes they will just embed an iframe. The whole issue is when they don't.
