Bad Ads
« on: August 19, 2014, 11:14:51 PM »
Earlier today I had a google phishing warning when trying to visit EQ Resource. I also had a few weird ad sites load instead of the real site. I recently whitelisted EQ Resource in adblock, and never had this happen otherwise, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the ads. Not a big deal but figured you guys would like to know.

Do you remember the Ads that showed and which page it was on?

This link is the page I was trying to use: CotF main page

I haven't been able to reproduce it, so it may have just been an isolated incident. I don't remember what the ads were, just that google gave me a warning before going to the site, and bypassing that sent me to not-eqresource.com. :P

I believe I've tracked down the offending ad network and blocked it. Please let us know if you experience this again. If it does happen again, immediately check your browser history and let us know the last 3-4 addresses it shows. Thanks!
