Ask HN: Have you seem any “scam news” popunders?
The other day I was on a file sharing site that a friend had uploaded a file to and I got a popunder that looked exactly like CNN with a headline + article claiming that a certain local politician was involved in a scandal. Of course, it wasn't actually CNN.
Have any of you seen something like this?
