It is one of the most common hacking methods and can be used to "steal" private information such as passwords, sensitive data like banking details etc |

As I pay to use this site I see no reason why I should have to read their advertisements so they all remain blacklisted :-D |

couldn't agree more - however as a paying member, you could always try asking for a cut of the advertising revenue. |
