Today I was browsing some websites and I received a malicious ad from Brave. I don’t have any screenshots of it but if it will happen again I will take a screenshot!

Brave showed the malicious ad to you? Or was it the site you were browsing the one that showed you the ad?
There’s the BAT. I had it enabled and I did go to a website and brave did show me a malicious ads. You know how BAT works right? Earn tokens by viewing Brave Ads. Ads presented are based on your interests, as inferred from your browsing behavior. And Brave didn’t send me a normal ad it did send me a malicious one.
You know what I’m saying right? I’m sorry I cant explain it good…
what’s that supposed to mean?
which site?, no links or screenshot either…
if you are so sure that it was brave browser’s ad system who showed you that ad, then it should be registered in the “7 days ad history” in brave://rewards.
maybe you allowed that site to show you notifications…
Well I reseted brave rewards and I disabled it. I cant find it now 
Btw sorry if you didn’t understand me. I’m Romanian and I don’t know English that good.
Next time you see an ad from Brave which looks malicious or fake, please take a screenshot of it.
There’s not much we can do if we can’t identify which ad you might have seen.

The ads that come from Brave Rewards are NOT accessed by going to a Web site, so this has nothing to do with Brave Rewards. Do you have Brave Shields turned on? If so, you should not be seeing ANY ads from Web sites.
Hi there.
sampson.codes/brave/ads/my_region/
Here are the Ads that brave is showing in your region. Could you identify it there?

That just shows the ads from where the person opens the link from. Which country do you live in? So we can see the specific ads from your region.
Yeap, with that he could identify wich is the malicious one, take a screenshot and tell us, If that that he says is correct.

Thanks but you don’t need to. I don’t really use brave rewards.
Oh, if you don’t use Brave Rewards then you can just toggle the ads switch off.
Yeah i did. I just tried it out.

Oh, by the way, I found this page of brave. There’s a question that says “What if I’m served an ad that is offensive or inappropriate?”, and a email there, you can report there what you seen, but provably they will request for the capture. Anyways you can put the alarm.
