Just recently it seems every page on TL is popping up this dialog saying that my flash player plugin is out of date, and then it tries to redirect the user to download some probably harmful exe file at
http://184.173.28.176/adobe_flashplayer_7.exe (don't go there lol it's probably a virus, athough their server seems to be having troubles)

I have TL+ so it shouldn't be an ad causing this, I think it's coming from your ad providers javascript though, so it works even if no ads are displayed. Turning on adblock doesn't seem to fix the issue.

It happens in Incognito mode as well, so it's not just my user account or anything like that. This is showing up on every page I've tried.

I do not believe adblock fixes it, I think it's just the server is getting hammered and taking a while to load this malicious script.

Thanks for letting us know, seems this was a bad ad. Not quite sure why this applied to TL+ users, that definitely shouldn't have happened.

I getting a very similar issue on mobile TL. When I try to use TL on my phone, sometimes it automatically redirects me to an obvious malware/virus download page which then makes my phone buzz and asks me to "update Android" in broken English. This only has happened when using TL. It started a few days ago and at first I thought it was a virus on my phone, but several virus checks proved it wasn't and when the Flash thing came about I realized it was only happening when I used teamliquid.

I'll include some screenshots of the websites. The main one seems to be a site called cellphone-tips.com

I'm no expert, so I don't want to say TL is hacked or compromised or anything, but the fact that it exclusively happens on this site is extremely worrying and suspicious.

I did find a few places where TL+ was still loading ad scripts (no ads were actually displayed, just the tag manager). These came from Google and comScore which should be reputable so I'm still not sure why TL+ users were also affected. I removed the unnecessary ad tags which should also make the page a tiny bit faster for TL+ users.

Seems a 3rd party analytics company we use to measure adblock rates was compromised through a phishing attack. We're going to remove their code for all users.

Bumping to say that I encountered this again. It went away for a few days. Perhaps this is on my end though, but it happened again when using TL
