Be careful on ML

[dmon]

Just wanted to put the word out. I received a pretty visceral cyber attack via a pop up ad while perusing the website motherless. Thankfully I was able to avoid “getting got” by hard closing everything and factory resetting my phone.

I would not use that website without some pretty robust protections, if at all after that. It was beyond what’s normal for those kinds of sites and I’m betting they’ve gotten a few people.

Stay safe out there. And remember, DO NOT put your government issue ID on any of these sites (or any other, looking at you Discord).

I never use my phone to access ML or any other adult site since I sometimes hand over my phone to friends or family to look at some pictures and I don't want them to come across that kind of images or clips when swiping

I only use my desktop PC at home that has very good protection software. Malicious attempts to access my PC are detected and blocked. I never had an issue with ML itself but indeed with unwanted pages that appear from time to time when clicking on an image or video link. Popups or malicious download attempts are blocked by my internet protection software.
I really don't recommend using a smartphone to access ML and similar sites unless there's a solid internet protection software on the phone.
