October17 Posted July 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi there, the past couple of days I have been getting redirected to scammy webpages, the type tht claim a win and tries to get email and/or credit card info. So I’m guessing some advertisement is running a bad script. Ad is showing a (bad) Finnish webpage, so it recognizes my location. getting redirected to https://eu.moneysavingexpertuniversity dot top.... and long sting of numbers including ip-address, maybe every 5-10 page changes here gets me tossed to that page. thought you’d like to know.

I’m on Safari iOS 12, no malware afaik. I get around the redirection by using an adblocker and disabling JavaScript. But that breaks some other websites I use, so it’s a hassle.

Rare broberts Posted July 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Despite Apples built in malware detection, Safari is open to hijacking like any other browser. You might download and run the free version of Malwarebytes for Mac, https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/. Did you try just using an ad blocker? Or, just disabling Javascript? If you think the malware is coming thru CC, I'd suggest an email to help@cruisecritic.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solve broken web sites by using a content blocker on iOS that allows for white listing websites. I can whitelist those. Adguard.

They said they were on iOS 12. Edited July 17, 2019 by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
