Can't run the BBO app anymore. About half the time something (probably an ad) generates a malicious redirect to various phishing sites. Pretty clear that the app is just a browser shell and something is getting injected. No other app or site does this. Have also emailed support.

To clarify, this is when playing anonymously.

We're looking into this. Thanks for the report and for the screenshots. Please play logged on while we investigate, we use a different ad server for logged on users.

We're investigating why some players are getting these redirects on Play Bridge - 4 Hands.

Please play logged on with this username -- we deactivated ads for you. You can find the usual Bridge - 4 Hands by clicking Solitaire on BBO
