PH page hijacked and redirecting to malware

[Audidodat]

Happening to me this morning on a Galaxy S6.

[dmsims]

So the manager of PH and the guy in charge of advertising can't sort it out ?

What kind of idiotic organisation are you running ?

[hornetrider]

Presumably one where they've all fked off for Easter bank holiday leaving the community exposed to malware for another 4 days.

Bravo Haymarket. Brav-fking-o.

Investigating this at the moment - just trying to understand where/who this is happening to so that I can narrow down what is causing it.

From reading above, this is only happening to Android users, in the UK, on GTI skin?

Am I correct?

I couldn't use Pistonheads for last few days and last night in particular on my mobile (using Android) as I just got the endless Harbwire nonsense and spinning roulette wheel of doom. The only way to solve it was to close Chrome each time, very annoying!

It certainly got everyone else's attention who I was with, as my mobile kept becoming an instant Anne Summers product each time the hijack took over.

However, hasn't happened this morning yet...

Data point -
I had a redirect a few weeks ago, but have not had any recently.
Android, std browser, GTI, Aus

No idea about GTi skin but im using Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0 Lollipop and the view of PH comes up like a mobile site and im in the UK.

On a seperate note why is it when i sign in the view goes back to looking like im on a PC?

Have also had several redirects this morning as well to rdr. Harbwire. Com

The default logged out skin is GTI - which detects your device and shows mobile view on a phone, and desktop on a desktop.

Your logged in skin is Big Blue, which is just a desktop view regardless of the device you view on. So if you go to My Preferences and change to GTI, it will act like when you are not logged in.

Why investigate? - TURN IT OFF

What is IT, so I can turn it off - do tell?

[RacingPete]

We have fiddled with a few things - but as I don't have an Android phone and I think that it is only happening to that device I can't test.

Can anyone let me know if it is still happening?

[snoopy25]

Not happened in the last 50 min...... Cross fingers. Will report back if it does though.
