So, did this issue resurface for anybody else today? Did for me, after a couple days of no problems.
It was super aggressive today... redirecting from Earth Empires to one of those phishing sites on one out of about every 4 clicks. Once it even sat on an EE page for a couple minutes, then redirected.
I've got, have updated, and scanned with malwarebytes... finds nothing. Kaspersky finds nothing.. Tried some of those manual removal suggestions from various websites.. no dice. The files they suggest to remove are nowhere to be found on either of my computers.
Finally just installed adblock on both PCs. I resisted for a couple decades because I want the people who create websites I enjoy to make a little money off them. Hopefully google figures out how to stop these jackasses soon.
