Hey I wasn't sure if I should post this here, but has anyone else recently been redirected from Kwenk to some other malicious looking site?? It has happened to me twice now and I just wanted to make sure if it was a device issue or not (like if I somehow have malware or something on my PC...)

Did you clicked on the Ad or it was auto redirected?

It's auto redirect. What happens is I press on any kind of site button (like say groups or profile) and another tab opens up with the website "shameful farms". It's only happened twice so I'm not sure if the website changes or not.

Thanks for reporting, it was the ad network injecting malicious redirects into their banner code, which caused the issue. It has been removed.

they said they were exploring other avenues for advertising than just having page banners, maybe they're looking into pop-ups (although based on the staff comments it seems its unintentional so maybe not)

It's done it to me a few times but I haven't stuck around long enough to find out the website I was redirected to cause I close the tab as soon as I'm redirected
