Just a quick note, there seems to be an issue with my blog at the moment where some readers on Android devices are reporting pop-ups. Not sure how and why its happening but I’m working on fixing it. In the meantime, if you get a pop-up asking you to download flash or whatever, do not download it please. Sorry about this!
Update: The issue should be resolved now (thanks Burhan!)

Lol I thought 🤣it was my phone thanks for the update Mark
i can’t seem to replicate it myself, if anyone can let me know whats the url address of the file they’re asking to download i’d appreciate that since the company Sucuri are trying to solve this issue but they can’t seem to find anything.
It’s a pop-up that says something about security chrome that’s what I got .
Not just android devices, had it happen with my windows pc.
does it happen consistently? like every time you come in?
@Mark, Got it when I emulated a phone in my browser https://imgur.com/a/HFCCxmC
I cleared my browser data and it seems to not happen anymore.
I confirm that image is the one. Thanks Calvin. Mark you can buy us coffee later 😂
haha np
OK here goes. Yes it comes up everytime until you click on install. When you do, a ‘nice’ screen pops up telling you how to enable the ‘install from unknown sources’ option while the apk downloads in the background and then chrome asks you to open it. Of course I deleted it, thanks to the msg from one of your users a few days back.
After this, the popup does not appear again. However I kept trying other things given you needed the url to fix this and finally got it!
The issue is no one will see your warning as the popup takes almost the whole page up with no option to dismiss it. Hope no one fell victim to this in the interim.
Please fix and you can thank us all later.

I think this is what is causing it.
Nope. It shows up as gibberish when I click on it?
thank you all of this is super helpuful!
Mark, please run your site through clouflare. That will resolve some of these issues and keep your site safer. I ran through my server and it caught it. It’s a DDoS agent
It keeps coming up for me on windows PC/Chrome browser every time i refresh, i had to stop loading the web page manually so i can continue reading.
do u get it when you visit kuwestions.com? http://classifieds.mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com/? or events.mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com?
It seems to have gone away on all the websites.
I got it too but then I restarted my phone and now it’s ok
Its a problem with the java script
So…I downloaded it and started the installation. I was uninstalling a bunch of programs today so I thought I had uninstalled adobe flash by accident.
What can I do to ensure that it’s been thoroughly erased // check for any damage it might have done?
for me it was asking to install flash? .last two days.. was there some redirect from your website going to adobe? or maybe you have any flash ads? or one of your plugin got hijacked by some hacker…
Someone had injected malware into the themes code
Its Burhan 🙂
Lol oops
Mark, great to see the site back up. Can I ask 1) how did they hack your server and inject stuff into get your code, 2) What have you done to prevent it from happening again
