Seen this more and more - looks to be some sort of ad server:

Uses random javascript files which have been obfuscated and hosted at global.proper.io

Does not seem to be blocked by existing proper.io rules

Seen in being loaded in page headers on sites like youngcons.com, snopes.com, salon.com, etc using the following snippet. Bares resemblance to prebid.js

Code: Select all

<script>
var propertag = propertag || {};
propertag.cmd = propertag.cmd || [];
(function() {
 var pm = document.createElement('script');
 pm.async = true; pm.type = 'text/javascript';
 var is_ssl = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;
 pm.src = (is_ssl ? 'https:' : 'http:') + '//global.proper.io/{SOME RANDOM FILE}.min.js';
 var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
 node.parentNode.insertBefore(pm, node);
})();
</script>

So, probably he is seeing some other things not reproducible by us.
