re: UCBrowser

You did the right think!

There are several independent reports on the sudden spike of re-directs and re-re-directs to affiliate marketing sites via questionable coding online throughout 2015 and 2016 that land mobile phone users to download/install UCBrowser. This was done via visiting non-rated websites or sites with low reputations and/or mismatched/misleading ads/promos/giveaways.

This risk category can be considered malicious and spam. The process in-between those redirects and re-redirect (or multiple redirects) leave the mobile phone users (very) vulnerable as none of the landing page of the various different redirected sites engage the HTTPS protocol and ELS/TLS encryption technology.
