• Patch Lady – uh best to be on guard while surfing

    Posted on September 23, 2020 at 18:07 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    So I was reading a news story from a web site on my iphone and this popped up.  Others have reported it as well.

    In the past it’s been reported that it’s a fail of a google-doubleclick advertisement, but I have enough Reynolds wrap on my head to be on the safe side and to close the browser app on my phone.  I have seen javascript files in banner ads on Windows machines trying to load up malicious payloads.  Therefore I’ll err on the side of caution and close the app.

    Let’s be careful out there and remember you can always shut down a device, close a browser, and back yourself out and not click open or download
