This article needs to be flagged. Popehat or 3rd-party scripts there are triggering redirects to malicious ads about my mobile device being “infected”.
I've been seeing this a lot more recently - not on Popehat, but on other sites including The Hill (although in my case it was a fake Amazon gift card giveaway).
I've seen a big uptick on this today, including on major sites like Snopes and NBCNews. It's almost certainly coming from bad ads slipping through into an ad network.
