Exclamation Hijack Ads while Browsing via Mobile? Report Details Here!

If you are experiencing rogue hijacker ads while browsing, please report details (such as a screen shot of said ad, details of your mobile device and browser) of the ads here. This will help the IB tech team to expedite the investigation and blocking of such ads and their providers.

I've attached links to related previous threads below for reference purposes. Those threads have been locked so that additional reports can be centralized in this single thread for easier review.

We want to keep this thread focused and on task, so please only use this thread for reporting related ads - not other site issues.

Thanks,
-Admin.

Is it possible that the hijack Ad is hidden inside one of the mobile banner ads?
I'm not sure how they have it set up, but this would explain why they are having this same issue across several forums.

It might be worthwhile to note which ads were displaying on your screen when it was redirected. I'm not saying its the problem, but a pattern might emerge.
