Malware on Airtel Smartbytes page

[sharan_ke]

I have started this topic on reddit with the link given on the very first post of this thread.

It redirected me into a series of spam and malware websites (that's Airtel's fault, it seems). Half of which it was undetected by Virus Total. Only one or two websites had reported as malware and phishing websites, claimed by VT. Just a mixture of malware-cum-phishing website forced redirects (mostly websites with .win domain). There's also a YouTube video to show the same:

That is very well known but nothing you can't do in this case.

That's not malware in your phone, that's the pop script on the Airtel's Smartbyte Page.

Sorry for replying such an old post, but when I view the source of Airtel Smartbytes website (which I used to check available data balance), it was injected with the adware s3.amazonaws.com. Source link is given below (adware link is on the 50th line):

view-source:122.160.230.125:8080/gbod/#

That's why it got redirected to such an adware upon going back.
