Here as well. It also solved the 'fake' ransom ware splash page I used to get before I installed it.
The web pages here aren't hacked. The ads are. The ad is displayed on the page and BAMM: entry point to the web page to launch their code.
Best of all, from their point of view, the ads 'deliver' their code to various web sites. They don't even have to sit there trying to hack a web page or the server it sits on. The ads serve up their code for them.
Pretty smart, if you give it some honest thought. Infect a trusted source (or owners who just don't care) and it'll deliver your malicious code to millions of web site.
FYI ad-block plus can be used on iPhone or Android, though not as comprehensive.
