Hi,
I'm not sure what to call what I've just experienced but it's a serious pain in the butt!
MacBook Air 2011 (4GB RAM, Core i5, 256GB SSD) connected to TV (internal screen backlit issue).
High Sierra (latest update 10.12.6)
I tried going to one of my former bookmarks within Safari Favourites to the following link below.
CAUTION:
Launching this link in order to see Incredibles 2 (stream; I'll view it in theatres tomorrow with my GF).
The link immediately went to the free.tv site (one of the many of them anyway) and BOOM:
1. A secondary pop-up window opens, which I quickly closed (Safari defaults are on)
2. The main tab used to open the link below is presenting me with an OSX Print Dialog box (I don't have a printer but seemingly prompting to save a rogue site as PDF.
3. One you close this site ... BETTER BE SUPER QUICK: You're then seeing Safari do almost 41+ downloads!! I HAD TO FORCE QUIT to STOP THIS. Was able to delete the downloads from Downloads folder, into Trash and successfully empty; so no permanent damage.
4. high pitched sound at full volume occurs during step 3 or 4 ... happened so fast ... I felt like an internet NEWB!
WTF IS this ... since 1989 or even BBS days I've NEVER seen this!
Not sure if this is isolated to Safari in High Sierra or any browser or any MacOS/OSX system??!
Anyone daring enough to try this ... maybe on non-production setup?
