BSNL is inserting ads in websites, sending their users to malware sites through malware code injection

There used to be a redirect to mail.bsnl.in at random, when I visit an insecure site. However, that has been replaced with malicious sites now. Considering, how careless BSNL could be, the pop-up malware could be an issue in their end.
 
Wow! Things are uglier than expected. Haven't seen this issue on Airtel Broadband or in JIO 4G. Both have their own issues, though. But, none of them are related to the security / malware.
 
I am using BSNL 3G as Hotspot . From last month I am experiencing redirect on clicking anywhere on HTTP websites....getting redirect to"cobalten.com/afu.php?zoneid=1365143&var=1492756"
and these kind of scripts are running while I experience such redirects...
<script src='//117.240.205.115:3000/getjs?XXXXXXX........."></script>

<script src="//go.oclasrv.com/apu.php?zoneid=1492761" type="text/javascript"></script>
Any solution???

Short answer: No solution.

Long answer: You may use VPN to secure the connection. But, free VPNs offer limited bandwidth. Proton VPN offers unlimited bandwidth, but their speed may be slow. But, not slow enough if you browse in 3G speeds.
 
The problem is... it is easy to inject malware on unsecured sites. For example, even the local exchange can track unsecured sites. But, they don't do it. That's the actual problem. This is not intentional from BSNL. They just don't have the resources (money) to secure their own servers.
