Be careful with your Android device against this kind of drive by download. Don’t visit this page on your Android device. And it seems it is not the first time, either that Yahoo! Ads has been caught out with suspicious behavior.
I’m linking because I want to bring attention to this reprehensible behavior. Look and you will see how this pages loaded on my Android and tries to steal my browser window with an unblockable popup.
Adertising Mobo Market & false warnings about your app store needing an update immediately, through unblockable popups.
It auto-downloads the following file: mobogenie_1541.apk
This is disgusting behavior for a website like About, even if it is through one of their advertising networks.
Since this is not the first time I have used About on my Android device, and had the same problem, I’m not impressed. I’ve already reported the malware to Google, and hope to have some kind of response, soon.
I’m fortunate that I know what to do and what not to do… but downloading files like this without permission is abuse.
Please go to www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/?hl=en and report it as well.
