It makes this site somewhat unusable.

Does it block out the URL, too?

It re-directs from flyertalk.com to a pirate site. Timing is random from between one minute after sign-in to one hour at most. Normally get several redirects per hour. I can compile a list of redirected url's if you need them too.

Just got a redirect to this pirate site: Flash Player Download (looks like the bbs converted it for posting)

It displays the screen in post 140.

It leads to http://zuenx.eyxudis.pw/

At least that's the more recent one... I'll keep checking...

The FlyerTalk site is essentially unusable now because of these repeated hijackings.

We report each hijack to our security software as it occurs. Obviously, we are out on the weekends, so those get tackled Monday. If you are getting unique ones that haven't been posted in this thread, I urge you to post screenshots and the approximate time you received them.

The hijackings are symptoms of a malware attack which may have come from an unrelated site.

While that is one possible vector, the fact that the redirects occur for many of us only on this site mean it is far more likely to be the result of a malicious ad. Even the FT administrators in the thread admit as much.

This ONLY happens on FT. It is a FT problem most likely.

I'm getting this exact same screen constantly on Safari (MacOS 10.15.2), it's driving me NUTS! I had to open up Terminal and edit my hosts file to block it.
