Yes, it is... But they can’t get one into an OSX Mac.They’ve tried for fifteen years since OSX Server came out in 1998. Viruses have no viable vector, and the Trojans are being identified by the OS and the user is being warned against downloading them, so they faked their malware with this hokey WEBPAGE as a “quasi-Trojan”, using the JAVA scripting built into HTML coding, hoping to fool users into paying them to do something totally unnecessary. The user can either click the “Leave this Page” requester 150 times to dismiss the script, or much more easier, just quit the Safari browser and relaunch Safari holding down the Shift key to prevent reloading the tabs and pages he’d been visiting before. Voilá! Problem solved. No big deal.
