Nonstop redirects to "loompasplace.com" - how malicious could they be? [View all]

Doing this from Safari on iPhone. The past day I keep getting hijacked from DU repeatedly. Understand if it's advertising, but worried that (a) it hijacks the browser session with no option to exit and (b) does it again if I close the window and come back again.

I can't find anything useful so far on the redirect site, whatever loompasplace is. Figured it was worth checking to make sure I'm not dealing with some iOS variety malware

Thank you, was able to cross-post NotASurfer Jul 2019 #8

Since a few people seem to be having the same issue, I would guess it is related to the ads here. Make7 Jul 2019 #9
