Us mods have no control over this type of stuff, we get them too, and find it just as annoying. Internet Brands are the only ones who can fix the issue.

Here's one I just got tonight when I logged on

Started getting those redirects and you're today's winner on my mobile device. Hope that this issue can be resolved in a timely manner. Thanks David

Any solutions or possible security measures we could take?

Me too, Google, Amazon. Seems to only be with Safari. I've investigated these before and found some are from hacked code in an ad, others are are editing the htacess file. I had a real estate client whose mobile visits were being redirected to porn. If its an ad its really hard, because the fault is with the ad provider who isn't screening their ads. The only fix there is to contact them and complain or threaten to not use their ad network. Note the URL cleverly crafted to make it look legit :-)

Thought it was a problem with my IPhone 5s/safari/oldOS

The site redirect always seem to be accompanied by a popup with a click to proceed

Spam redirects are TERRIBLE here. Constantly getting highjacked by them on my phone and only when I am here. I would say about every few threads I read. Pretty much will just stop coming here when on my phone I guess.
