Google links highjacked - malware?
I'm sure this is a problem at the website end, but I just want to run it by some people here to be sure.
Over the last 3 months or so, I'm getting multiple redirects from Google search, to malware/scam sites. They almost always end up at the same, or similar pages, having re-directed a dozen or so times to stop you simply swiping back to the Google search page. I've just been ignoring them and returning to the Google search page by click-hold on the back button and selecting it from the drop-down, but today I took a look at the Google link and found that by loading it from the Cache, it actually took me to a genuine site.
So, have these genuine sites been compromised, or do I have a problem? Seems amazing that Google is letting this happen.
Here's the page that always displays from the malware/scam site... the falling confetti is an animation and if you do nothing, popups appear to try and get you to click something.
I've run MalwareBytes just to be sure and it finds nothing, as I would expect.
Can anyone offer some insight?
