Have I been hacked?

Not sure this is the best title but I can't work out what the issue is!

Hi everyone

I need some help! I was digging around trying to work out why ads are taking a while to load on one of my mobile sites and I've came across an issue which may or may not be related but I'm really concerned about.

I've been using the developers tools on chrome to take a look at what's being loaded and how long it's taking and it's thrown up the strangest results. Once the page has loaded, the Network results keep churning away throwing up thousands of errors and warnings. These are being generated by several urls including moatads dot com and dtm.advertising dot com.

This happens regardless of what page I visit and what ads are actually being shown.

I've checked the other websites in the network which are all hosted on the same server and there are no issues, and the desktop version of the same website has no issues either.

When I disable the adsbygoogle js then there are no problems so it does seem to be an adsense issue.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: There was one advert which was being consistently shown when the page was refreshed and it was this that was causing the issue. I've taken steps to block it.

Are you saying this is a malicious ad on Google's AdSense network?

I'm sure that never happens @engine ;)

hehehe, well, hopefully, Google will catch it quickly before it actually ruins earnings, or, worse still, has a payload.

@engine I'm hoping I can blame the recent bad run on this one! ha!
