Hi folks,

i have noticed that cmon is redirecting to a porn site when i am using my iphone, after a check its not anyhting on my phone, this only happens with CMON.

Just incase anyone has their kids using the page, the server may have been hacked, i dont know. I put a post up on feedback too but its just incase anyone has found a similar issue, as its very odd.

If you can take a screenshot when you first open coolminiornot.com before redirect (and during for that matter) that would be useful to try to identify what vector this is coming through. I can't reproduce it on our end but it could be IP address dependent.

Edit: Or even video it using another device.

Edit2: I've disabled Google ad units that are known to sometimes let malicious ads on their network that cause redirects. Do let me know if it happens again so I can look at other possible vectors.
