But no, they appear to be using multiple (probably hijacked) servers and multiple ad placements. As you can see in the screenshot I attached to post 558, mine was different.

Pop up advertisement using Chrome on iOS.
Not an isolated incident, with it appearing on almost every thread I am currently trying to view on my iPhone.

Still getting the Congratulations ad here in AU on almost every page load. I haven't bothered reading FT due to this issue.
very slight change to the url links as reported over a week ago.
Anything with .club or .info should be banned

Almost made it.
HTC 10, Chrome, on T-Mobile. The amount of ads displayed almost makes things unusable on mobile.

Just want to say that while I still think it's ridiculous that you remain with an ad service that serves up malicious ads and requires you to disallow each one as your users complain, I'm happy to report that I haven't had a hijack in over a month.
I hope I haven't just jinxed myself!
