I keep getting what looks like SPAMMY hacks on random links here on the forum. "Click here to prove you are not a bot." Opening ouo.io pages behind my main window.. I thought I got a virus, but it only happens here. Its like the Arduino server got hacked.
Anyone? Or is it really just me?

Same issue.
None of my antivirus tools have been able to find anything.
Yep, same here but usually only the first time I click on a forum category. After that I don't seem to see it again until I come back hours later.
Nope..Zero...Nada...Nuthing...Coming up blank here on pop ups, porn, other nefarious items...
There are a few posts about it in the CORRECT section so I can only assume this is to spread the word a little wider ?
Think I should stop asking for all these to be merged etc etc etc as it is clearly a waste of time and energy.
