Hmmm...that maybe true but what else can we do, I mean, Inkfruit has to be involved somewhere in this right? Think about it, if you were an ad injecting virus, why would you randomly inject ads that too of inkfruit? For people who face these ads, are the ads appearing only on wikipedia or other websites also? If I am not wrong, if this is the work of a malware, it would display the ad on each and every website you visit and not just specifically Wikipedia. If its only Wikipedia and the ad is only Inkfruit, I'd really say, if nothing can be done via code, legal needs to be involved. If its a non-specific malware, just clean your systems, I guess and inform others.

Rather, I'd say, instead of not going public with this, if it gets too frequent, go public. Display a banner on top of Wiki stating that if you see ads on Wikipedia that is not at all related to Wiki, rather you should check your system for malware. The point is people should not assume, that Wikipedia has started ads.

Ok then can we not make the default version the https one like say google does.

This will not be a permanent solution, I'm afraid.
