Run a malware and antivirus scans on your computer. Most likely someone went to a compromised website which inject the adds into your browser.

They are certainly not ads of AT&T itself. How did you fix it a year ago when this happened? Maybe have a talk with your household.

It's not AT&T. It's someone who visited a site that they shouldn't have, knowingly or unknowingly.

The ads are from Yahoo which the homepage is jointly run by currently & ATT and Yahoo. Making all of them equally responsible for the ads which appear on their homepage and "news" stories. "News" stories themselves are boobs, butts and women with no clothes (even avatars. and Yes Currently and ATT and Yahoo are responsible for these ads and "news" stories when they carry their logos. FTC and FCC complaints made.

If that is true why isn’t everyone seeing “boobs, butts and women with no clothes”?  I know I’m not.  Explain that.  🤷‍♀️

@birdrose  Nope. We don't see any of that on Yahoo's homepage with Safari or Firefox on any device. Somebody clicked on something they shouldn't have in your household.

As usual no response from ATT currently (their offshore entity) and/or Yahoo. Complaints made to proper authority.

So you have no explanation why you are the only one seeing this?

Edit:  I see that you had this same complaint a year ago.  🤔

Yahoo home page,complain to Verizon which bought Yahoo in 2017 after buying AOL 

Verizon bought AOL for $4.4 billion in 2015 and Yahoo two years later for $4.5 billion

edit…. ATT bought DirecTv in 2015 and Time Warner Media in 2018.
