You could also go to Safari settings and turn off JavaScript. That might help. Also make sure that block popups is turned on. I usually block 3rd party cookies too.

Agreed,
Drudge and others are putting out "complaint" signs for users with adblock to ask them to whitelist.

I also make it a habit to clear cookies and website data on iphone & ipad on a regular basis. At least once a day- and always after I happen upon a website that is not quite “right.”

I backup, to my iMac, using iTunes, every week, for every mobile device using the USB / Lightning connector. If the malicious Java Script comes after the most recent backup, would this not have been fixed by restoring?

My wife didn’t know how to shut down programs running in the background or how to clear web data until I showed her. I imagine there are a lot of people that don’t and who rarely do a restart either.

If the malicious Java Script comes after the most recent backup, would this not have been fixed by restoring? It would, but unnecessary in this instance. The issue was not actually on the iPad or iPhone but rather on a website. The solution is to get Safari off the website.

adblock is an absolute must. It is not just the annoying adverts, it is the wait time while the advertisers server wakes up, realizes that you are watching and then sends the data; damned annoying.
