applenews.tech attack

Navigate to Settings/ tap Safari / select Clear History and website data

If it does not help your router may be hacked. See Check the instructions on this page : http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-manage-a-hacked-wireless-router/

Try double clicking the home button and swiping the Safari preview up to force close it. If the same website reloads double click the home button again. This time try tapping the two squares in the upper right corner before the page reloads. If you're quick youcan delete the thumbnail by tapping the tiny x.

If the above doesn't work go to settings> Safari> Clear history and website data.

You are welcome.

I have noticed attack on my VM by 192.168.1.16

Cannot access youtube, and barely any other websites. Please help! it looks like DDoS attack.

How do I protect my Mac against this attack?

I have malware protection on my mac Bitdefender, however obviously does not help in the case.

Have detected malware with Detect Safe Browsing from AppStore
