This is definitely an Apple issue. It’s happening everywhere and every time I get on the net via Safari (from my iPhone 14 Pro) and yes, I have cleared history and website data, it doesn’t matter.


Apple needs to take this seriously!!!

This issue seems to be happening only, or at least primarly, on news sites. This may be an attack similar to the Wordpress Popup Builder attack that happened earlier this year where over 7000 website were compromised in a similar fashion. We'll need to wait and see what the many security analysts come up with.

It's almost certainly a malicious injection of a malware component onto various websites or possibly into Wi-Fi routers (the latter doubtful but possible), trying to infect your device. It can't harm a iPhone or iPad and probably can't harm a Mac, though the latter is possible. In any case, just close the popup. Do not allow the download.

This is not anything Apple can sort out since it's not a problem with your device. This is a scam infiltration happening on those websites or in network routers somewhere. If the problem persists, try rebooting your router, though it may well not be an infiltration there.
