The DataPortability Project has been at the forefront of addressing challenging data portability issues that affect all of us. We (Braintree) are really excited to see our Credit Card Data Portability initiative be adopted by them. This is their first initiative for B2B data portability. We were unsure what to expect from our efforts but are really excited to see that it's starting to get traction.

Clicking the DataPortability site the first time gave me some malicious ad that took over the whole window trying to get me to install some sort of Windows virus protection (even though I'm on Linux). The second time gets me to the site... Oddly enough the site doesn't seem to have any adverts on it (now that it's loaded)...

Has anyone else experienced this problem? We do not have any ads on the DPP site, I am unable to replicate the problem, and we would appreciate any additional information on this. Thanks.

Seems to be a bit of nasty Javascript on this page attempting to redirect. Avast stopped it on my end(XP user).

It is looking at cookies. If you already have a cookie for the site it wont work- try clearing cache.

I sent an email to your personal account. I would recommend puting it in your HN profile so it would be easier to contact you at a later point in time. If you would like I can scan all of your sites for more spyware/vulnerabilities. You can contact me at the address in my profile.
