Re: Does anyone know anything about this advert?

I've blocked eskimo.com and also emailed our adsense rep with a complaint. Unfortunately I really don't see how this can be avoided in future. I doubt any ad network is smart enough to vet and clean the click stream from any ad, and if they did when the ad was lodged what is to stop the landing page getting modified later?

Yes, I agree there is not a lot you can do to prevent this.

Based on a google search, eskimo.com was exploited, not doing this on purpose.

I assumed that.

Unfortunately, other sites will be similarly exploited.

It's definitely a php-based exploit, but not targeting all open source php apps (that I can tell so far), so probably looking for some specific code problem. An analysis of the source and libraries used by the known targets would probably narrow it down..

ZA has ad block which I've used without regret. This is only one more reason...
