So, I was on WebMD earlier tonight when I got the old Facebook.com-claimprize pop-up stating that I needed to click OK to take the survey and claim my prize, or something to that effect. Well, I double-clicked the home button, quit Safari, and then relaunched, thinking I could beat the reload by tapping the double square in the lower right hand corner of Safari. I did, and as I went to swipe left to get rid of the page, I must have bumped the screen, and the page came back up, and my left swipe instead turned into me hitting the "ok."

I exited both Safari on my iPad and iPhone, and then proceeded to clear the history on each a few times. To the best of my knowledge, this is just a JavaScript phishing attempt, correct? And since I, clearly, didn't enter any information on the page that loaded after ok, I'm good? I feel like a relative beginner on this one, as, in all my years of owning an iOS device (day one original iPad) and counting, I've never come across this.
