Corona Spam Thread??

[LyceeFruit PE]

anyone else getting more popup/banner ads on EB? It's currently *over* the reply box and there isn't an X to close out of it - refreshing doesn't get rid of it. posting does. but this is a new tab of EB I have up rn where this has happened to me.

It's all good, I don't mind my own company and by default I'm literally the smartest person in my department! (I'm also the dumbest person in my department...so there's that)

Also, SPAM.

It's all about how you skew the stats, man.

Just noticed the same thing.  We received a corporate email warning against ‘malvertising’ defined as click bait advertising that will load malware.  Hackers are thrilled with all the internet traffic due to the social distancing.  Be safe people.  DON’T CLICK IT!

Is there something you’re not telling us?

 

[blybrook PE]

Must be for corporate fleets. You searching for GPS trackers to keep tabs on where your family went?

 

[RBHeadge PE]

Lots. But it doesn't have anything to do with fleet management.

In general these ads are pretty weird.

I don't think I've ever searched GPS on my home computer.
