Browser Hijack Advertisements

[mwcboard]

Anybody have any idea how to stop the ads the force redirect your users on mobile devices, the "congratulations you've won x" ads that are malicious. It's an industry wide problem but I was curious if anybody has had any luck beating this things.

 

Thanks

I'm beyond frustrated myself.  I use prebid (header bidding) and it's unclear where the bad ads are coming from.  Could it be adsense?

I doubt it will be adsense, They normally come from cheap get accepted instantly on sign up ad companys who do no check's on your website etc.

That's not really true these days. Ad networks have many downstream providers. We only use top tier ad companies such as Aol, Google, etc..

We ended up raising the minimum bid to .90 CPM and that stopped them.
