So I was doing a Google search and suddenly this ad pops up telling me I can test a 6s. I thought nothing of it and I'm on MacRumors some time later and it happens again!

It's happened about 3-4 times in the past half hour. Has anyone seen this or what might be causing it? It is also affecting another iPhone in the house.

Latest version of iOS 9.3.1.
Only trusted apps installed.
Only trusted websites visited.
Have tried clearing browsing history too.
No MDM profiles. Nothing.

Thanks in advance :)
 
Sounds like your home network is compromised. It's not a problem with your iPhones, it's a problem with your home Wi-Fi network.
 
I'm getting the same and it's not my wifi because it's happening on 3G too.

Either it's an iPhone issue or a MacRumors issue.

I think it's most likely the latter tbh! Site been compromised?
[doublepost=1460594082][/doublepost]Update: it only happens on 3G if I don't close the tab after switching wifi off, suggesting something stays in the tab even after reloading the page. Strange. Anyway, will be looking at my router. Funny we have been hit at the same time?!
[doublepost=1460594528][/doublepost]My router doesn't have a DNS setting which is what I thought my have been changed. Remote access is off. Any ideas?
[doublepost=1460594915][/doublepost]Sirious, are you on Virgin Media like me?

I wonder if it's a problem with some DNS servers but not all, that'd be one explanation for why I see it on the home network and not on 3G (rather than it necessarily being my home network that's compromised)
