XF 1.4 Pop-ups triggered

I’ve had some members complain of pop ups and redirects in their devices when browsing on mobile via chrome. No one on iPhone has complained.
I pretty much run the site with my iPhone and don’t have access to a pc so I haven’t been able to see anything that may be causing this.
Only thing I’ve noticed is at times when I try to login via admin panel I’ll see ‘website not secure’ on the address bar.
Could we possibly have become compromised?

When I navigate anywhere but the main page, at least half the time on mobile it'll redirect me to some flashing page that's usually about a Walmart gift card or how my phone has a virus or whatever, typical spam stuff. The pages always play sound of someone talking, too, it's pretty obnoxious.

It's almost certainly going to be malicious advertising so in the first instance I'd recommend reporting the problem to your ad provider. I imagine they have processes in place which log ads served, and are better equipped to deem whether any malicious ads are being served.
