I recently updated to iOS 18.0 a couple days ago. In my Safari web browser i get a pop-up window asking me if I want to download occ. I had this occur several times on different sites. I “x” the window closed. I have no idea what ‘occ’ is and as a precaution will not download anything that I have no clue about. see attached screen shots below.
Thanks

Try loading an ad blocker, and adjust its settings to both allow you into the intended website, and to block this occ download request.
Looking into this occ topic again, a newspaper website had a discussion (with no more details than anybody else has about this), and that webpage itself amusingly served up the occ download.
I’d expect this is some rubbish being served from an ad network somewhere.
Ad networks are too often flaming security trash-fires, unfortunately.
Try an ad blocker.
EbonyB any progress with Apple? I had a chat and a conversation with Apple support and asked them to follow up with the escalators and engineers.
I have had many fraud links that were from scammers and many errors on google when it comes to links and page errors
It's a ripoff they are running scams on safari,chrome,apple, these sites fraud
I added Adblock and it did not solve the problem
Hi Ebony,
Have you found out why icloud pop up “Continue to sign in to iCloud” Continually pops up?
Thanks!

Do you have any external citations to support this belief?
Thanks.
