I’m not sure if it’s only me... I don’t get it on other webpages in Safari.

Although this seems to be an iPhone problem... yet I’m only experiencing this on flyertalk and not on other websites. I’ll update (edit) this post if I experience it on other webpages.

I started getting this, too. It’s showing up on Safari on both my iPhone and IPad. So far, for me, it’s only popping up on FT website, too.

big yay for your message. Good to know we suffer together. I look at other websites and webpages on my iPhone but only get this txt download scam sometimes in flyertalk and currently nowhere else.

iOS 13.7, safari, iPad Air 3, UK, WiFi. I can’t determine which ad is pushing the dodgy payload.

I'm also getting prompted to download stuff as well. Very definitely clicking no. However this is on Safari 14 on a desktop Mac.

I'm reporting all of these to our security team.

Thank you! Very appreciated - and glad you’re not suffering these situations.

Everyone, the good news is that this is not malware. It's an issue with Google Ads that Google is currently working on

The AnyClip video ads when using the FT mobile phone version of the site are getting discussed as being some the most intrusive ads to ever be encountered while using FT on mobile phone devices. Any screen shots of how they overlay the comments?
