Site suddenly redirects

[Ed_C]

I haven't been on this forum for months now due to the site suddenly redirecting me to another site

I just tried switching browsers hoping it would help, used to log in with Chrome but on MS Edge at the moment. After a few minutes logged in I get redirected to a site claiming to be Verizon, with some BS "win a phone" offer :gun4: From a starprize.za

And it's happened twice so far since I logged in tonight. WTF

It's the new norm here, the place is slowly dying tbh.

Is it normal to have so many ad's too? Was not expecting it, didn't remember them all a few years ago.

Is it really like that?

You may have been hacked. A popular way to force a redirect is my modifying your hosts file to send you to a different URL. Same is true for your web browser, which is the more likely place.
