(NSFW / Chinese Adware / Possible Malware)
No malware was noticed but I'd use uBlock and a VPN, disable JavaScript, and a good antivirus at a minimum...
If you want to know what it linked to, someone posted the link in another community. It seemed to be a Chinese landing site (looks like something along the lines of a “this domain could be yours”), with a bunch of affiliate porn ads (read: 88px X 88px animated gifs) like you might have seen in the mid 2000s.
I couldn’t read any of it because it’s in Chinese, but that’s the gist of it.
Free biscotti and a link to free porn sounds great. I'll happily take the recalled product off their hands for disposal.
See? Now you get it.
The domain is mentioned in the article.
I have one of the packets in my hand.
I have checked and can confirm that it’s true.
Am I going to take it back to Lidl? Am I fuck.
well, the url in question is in the article
Thank you for ruining my joke.
