Pretty decent thing to do. When I was a website developer, around 2012 I dealt with a mentally unstable friend/client who one day started seeing porn ads on a blog that he asked me to fix up on behalf of someone else. He freaked out “NICK CAN’T SEE THAT, OMG”. I looked at the site on 4 different devices from 3 IP addresses and didn’t see what he was talking about. Since it was my job to figure this out, I asked some people we knew on a forum “will you please look at this site and let me know if you see any porn ads?” 25 people responded that no, they did not. Okay. So I told him, hey, I had everyone on our forum check it out and it’s fine, so it has to be a virus on your computer or something. He got super angry and told me it was VERY embarrassing to him that I did that (like, wtf was I supposed to do?). Eventually someone figured out he had a hacked router.
