Malicious website pops up in Safari: starts with "shieldscan360news.top"

I noticed this first happen while in Words with Friends. Cannot seem to get rid of it, constantly opening

Same problem. Even in private.

I ended up blocking the site in parents controls as an “adult” site. Work around that works for now!

For me, it happens in a game called Colorwood sort while in the app. Just randomly opens Safari with same page OP notes. Closing tab doesn't change anything. Keeps happening over and over. I've been playing for weeks, this just started in the last day or so.

1. Close the page (File > Close Window or Close Tab whichever corresponds to your viewing preferences).
2. Open a new window or tab.

Same problem?

Complain to the website administrators. It is their ad or ad network.

Alternatively, get an ad-blocking app such as Wipr 2.

It’s not just happening with safari. Duck duck too

I’m getting this in Chrome, too. Anyone found a fix? It’s really annoying.
