...where it goes to another random website like a dating website before going to DS?

Or is it just me?

its happening to me. twice this evening. My ESET NOD 32 VIRUS scanner warned me I was being attacked. It does seem to happen only on this site. Sorry to say...

Glad I'm on Windows 7 and running noscript and ABP.

Yes, it's been happening to me for the past few days.

Hi,

Ad ops are checking this out. Interestingly the three reports above are from non-UK locations - we've had no UK reports of this and have not been able to reproduce this in the London office. (This shouldn't hamper the investigation, however.) I or someone else will update in due course.

Thanks James. Brits abroad need DS so I'm glad you're investigating!

Hi,

Just to say we have encountered something odd when viewing DS from the USA and are in "ton of bricks" (as in "come down on them like a...") mode. Such behaviour on our site is totally unacceptable.

If you ever see anything else suspicious please email as many as you're able to out of screengrabs, source code, javascript code to forum.tracking AT digitalspy.co.uk. It really helps us track these things down.

As I say, we're continuing to work on this - further updates in due course.

James
