Default Phishing attempt when loading Rennlist pages

Hi, please move or delete thread if it does not belong here.
When I access the main page for this forum, and especially when I load thread pages, a phishing page will load instead of the desired Rennlist page. The page also constantly reloads, probably to try to launch the new page.
This is the first time I see such attacks in my Firefox browser. The phishing URL is containing eu.moneysavingexpertquickloans.icu....
When I set to tracking cookie blocking to "Strict" the browser appears to work normally.

Maybe this is due to a malicius third-party content on the Rennlist pages?

Cheers,
Tore

More then likely its something on your machine causing the redirect. Its a pretty common trick phishing applications use, they can determine your frequented sites which you have trust in then popup their content with those tracking cookies. A family member of mine had this same thing happening at random times whenever they went to target.com. Had this been a Rennlist specific issue there would be many more users reporting the problems. Good luck finding out what is causing it, they can hide real good in various browser plugins or installed apps.
