Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

Business Insider gave a $5bn valuation to Wikipedia in 2010. So yeah, that's a big market for spammers. anirudh On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 10:59 PM, Ramesh N G wrote: > I was really amazed on the discussion on the ads on the wikipedia. > Looking at the snapshot, it could really some virus or adwa

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

I was really amazed on the discussion on the ads on the wikipedia. Looking at the snapshot, it could really some virus or adware. Even this should not be the way the ads come to Wikipedia, though I personally never will support this. I strongly recommend the user to scan the PC for a virus, chang

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

I'm not sure Inkfruit is even aware the DOM injection campaign is even happening. Possibly a rogue advertising agency; or perhaps the writer of the virus is using a regular ad-network's API. I'll wait for Kashyap to comment though, he may be able to identify which agency/network is running that spe

Definitely Adware/Malware/Spyware/etc. Notice in the Screenshot, it says Ads Not By This Site. It should've been a clue. Do scan your system with a good antivirus [Free or paid doesn't matter]. If your system is infected by anything, your data might be at risk. --Cheers, On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 8:

No, now that you mention him, even a friend of mine in Pune told me that Wikipedia had started ads, to which I dared him to show me and in fact made a bet. He failed to show me when I asked him to, so I took it as a singular even, perhaps, some sort of mistake he made. However, since other people h

Hoi, I noticed on the request for the approved Gujarati Wikisource that Narayam is requested. What I do not understand is why WebFonts is missing. Particularly for a Wikisource there are many advantages of having WebFonts. I blogged about this in the last month quite regularly. - a different fo

[Wikimediaindia-l] Ads Injected into Wikipedia?

A friend got in touch with me about this. He is currently seeing advertisements on Wikipedia pages (on all pages except the home page). Here is a link to a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/dhKyR.jpg These advertisements were not visible to him when I asked him to check through the secure WM server.
