Has Phil put you in charge of IT?

Not yet, he hasn't mentioned turning it off and back on again.

I did get a Crypto page popping up almost daily until recently but now appears to have gone away.

I’ve not touched or changed any settings.

Safari on iPhone.

Go to settings, apps, safari, then clear history and website data. I think that should solve your problem.

Yeah I was getting that as well but that seems to have chilled out now.

If I do that I won’t be able to log back in as it’ll wipe my passwords, or is that your plan

Just write it down somewhere before you do it. It’s goto be worth a try, looking at the comments only you are experiencing this, so it’s something your end.

Ok I’m backtracking. You can’t be in charge of IT if you’re suggesting that he writes passwords down.

Not getting the cookie issue but the ads and redirects are becoming a real pain.

I browse through duckduckgo and don't get any pop-ups . Hope that helps.

I was about to suggest that, but didn’t out of fear of what coops would say.

Excuse me, we’ll have less of that.

You make a good point about writing the passwords down, it’s a bit silly considering they’re stored on the passwords app, or chrome.

But it’s something I’ve always done, had a paper back up just in case, has got me out of a tricky situation when using a pc and it has failed on me.

Hmm just looking through my passwords apps now, it’s says that I have 8 compromised passwords, who’d have thought that BuRgerKing101 wasn’t a strong password.

Hmm, there’s a lot of people who think like this. It’s not a criticism as ultimately it’s about what folk think they can cope with.

However if you sat down for just a few minutes and derived your own logic for passwords then you wouldn’t be using password123. For example, take your car registration, reverse it and add a number (eg DoB) and a special character on the end. You will never forget it and nobody will ever guess it.

Most of the passwords I’m getting a security warning for, are for websites that I’m not really bothered about, like bbc for the iPlayer, and Itv X, and the passwords I’ve used for those are the most basic going, for example banana101, now I have a message saying something about a data leak, and the password has been compromised, and advising I should change immediately, but I’m not bothering. What’s the worse than can happen if they hack my BBC account, watch an episode of Eastenders
