Redirected automatically to App store

[Anonymous]

Just got redirected again.

Me too. Glispa. Now I'm on the computer vs iphone. Good luck with the fix!

I'm still working on it. I got redirected once this morning when I first started, but not since then. I have to be able to reproduce the problem in order to fix it, so this is frustrating.

Jeff, thanks for working so hard on this. Not sure if this helps or not, but I'm getting the redirects periodically - certainly not every time I click on a thread, and not even every time I click on the same thread. It usually goes first to something like control.kochova.com (that may not be exactly right, it only flashes briefly on that web address before redirecting again), then going to the glispa address and then popping over to the App store. So the culprit might be that control.kochova rather than the glispa address. I'm just bringing this up b/c I've seen the glispa address mentioned several times in this thread, but can't tell if the control.kochova one has been brought to your attention or not.

Google responded and has escalated to engineering to look into things further. They confirmed that ads such as this violate their terms of usage and would be removed if identified

Has anyone been redirected lately?

So far, so good! (I'm the pp who was traveling and dcum reverted to normal as we boarded - and united allows small devices to remain on throughout the flight)

I just had it happen again. I was in older kids, reading the sex at 13 thread.

And twice more when I tried to get back on via recent topics. (Pp here)

Argh! I had just decided the problem had been resolved and turned off my test setup. I guess I need to restart it and get back to work.

Just happened again, to jelly splash from recent topics

I was thinking how nice it was to have it not be happening, then I got redirected from the "antagonistic poster" thread. I was most likely on pg 2, maybe pg 3.

I also managed to get redirected a few minutes ago with my test setup. At the same time, I was contacted by Google support again. They have reports from other websites as well and are escalating the issue further. Because I just got redirected, I have full traffic captures and was able to provide them a ton of data. I think I have blocked everything I can. So, I don't know if Google's blocks are not working properly, I've not configured them correctly, or I missed something that I should have blocked.

As best as I can tell, two domains based in Germany, both of them with all of the contact info hidden, and both with no public presence on the web, are the ones doing this. Hopefully, Google will come up with a solution since I don't seem to be able.

Thanks for working on this. They should give you some kind of credit for dealing with this. My redirect came from http://ads.glispa.com/sw/47092/CD30161/pxgl3haypo0s0w4
Just now.
