Although redirecting ads can actually be injected by Malware on your PC in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although redirecting ads can actually be injected by Malware on your PC in some cases. I won't disagree that Malware can be the cause at times, but when I can surf any other sites I frequent without problems( and this one too as long as I'm using a browser with an ad blocker ) it's not Malware on my end.I can't report specific ads either. As I mentioned; The site loads for a second or two before the ads load. As soon as they do, the webpage redirects. Happens about 50% of the time when loading a page here with Edge. So, for now I'm just using Chrome with an ad blocker, Edited January 19, 2020 by bandygirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Ethreon wrote: Blaming others for your own ineptitude. No wonder your s#*! got hacked all across. Quote DaisukeNiwaKun wrote: Actually you all gets wrong... The responsible one for this is the hacker itself that actually stole the data not the user. Users are stupid sometimes. In polish I call them "użyszkodnik" with means literally pest user. But does this mean the user's fault? No because someone else want to rob all of us! This is a lesson for all of us. To defend by yourself and not to count on third party or governments or god knows who else. That's why I suggest to start using stronger passwords, keep them safe in a notebook or remember them. Quote Ethreon wrote: Uh no.. the user is as responsible for their own data security as is the site. If you use the same password everywhere you have nobody to blame for but yourself. Quote DaisukeNiwaKun wrote: Why? Using the same password is illegal or something? People remember one thing that user is not responsible for security breach.Ethreon if hacker would had access to quantum computer and if it were so accurate what people thinks they are.Then who would you blame then for the security breach? The user who use different 12 letter password for each of his account?For the record the quantum computer can decode 12 letter password in few seconds in certain conditions.I would like to make you aware that computers are getting faster and faster and in a few years even a 15-letter password may not be enoughSo I am asking who is to blame? User or a Hacker? Quote ryangjpriorx wrote: first of all if your american, protecting your CC# is easy, not like here in canaderp. Secondly, Use a password manager if your a 'user' who can remember passwords. third, two factor auth protecting service accounts and email account, its a PITA but so is having your s*** stolen.

Quote Ethreon wrote: Because personal security is your own personal responsibility first before anyone else's. It's as simple as that. Take responsibility of your own protection.@ryangjpriorxProtecting the CC isn't as easy as you think I run a very good firewall at home (pfsense) with everything properly configured updated etc...I ALWAYS make sure every device/computer in my house is clean and properly updated/protected and yet some how some punk 14yr old kid that lives in my city some how got my CC spent 350 on a service called meme live and thought he was going to get away with it.....Moral is don't ever assume one country is more secure than another....that kid ruined his life hes doing mandatory 5 years is banned from all electronic devices/internet till hes 21 when his sentence is up he goes back in if he violates.

Don't use any personally identifiable information in your passwords, bible verses, famous quotes, lucky numbers, easy-to-guess number combinations (12345, 77777, 6969, birthdays, SSNs, etc.) If someone can go on your social media page and write down everything they know about you and break the password, it wasn't a good password.

Celebdea Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hiya guys, Just caught this warning from you; better late than never, eh? As a former security operative I'd just like to say kudos to you for the warning... pity you received what appears to be some negativity over this. So, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Keep up the good work people. With regards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
