Got this shit and was redirected when in an archived thread on my phone. It also appeared when testing on a few other devices.

What the fuck is this? Why do archived threads lesd to malvertising?

Behind that little overlay is a fake google page saying "how many viruses I have"

I am aware we had ads like this on the front page in November, but still?

There is no reason 4chan should have ads like this.

This is why I block ads. I don't have a phone so I don't know if phone users can do it. So I guess all I can say is, uh... ha ha?

Nice. I remember getting a spam text like this on my phone back in 2003. They're like those old chain spam emails. Good to see people digging into the past of digital mass communication for their contemporary spam and malware.

You know platforms like Android and iOS aren't limited to mobile phones, right? Tablets are pretty widely used these days Google and Apple pretty much dominate the market share. They use the same operating systems.

this is hiro's way of discouraging mobile cancer from being here. you should probably just leave.

All I can say is the ads on the archive threads are the big reason I use adblock on principle.

So good job Hiro.
