I would run the free Malwarebytes, and/or free Etrecheck to see if that escapade left any malware on your Mac. Both of these applications are widely recommended in the support communities, and if malware is found, the applications will offer to remove it.
It might be due to adware or ad inside specific webpages.
Step1. Run my free tool to scan and remove adware: Adware Removal Pro for Mac
Step2. Install AdBlock extension to block ads inside web pages: https://getadblock.com/
