Adobe Flash Update Redirect Virus

  • neiloseman · Member ·

    I am experiencing a problem with my self-hosted WordPress site at http://neiloseman.com. Sometimes, when accessing the site via links on Facebook posts, myself and other visitors get redirected to a fake Adobe Flash Player Update page. This is a link to one of the Facebook posts affected.
    Googling the problem, I have read about a virus that infects routers and causes a certain percentage of URL requests to be diverted to a fake Adobe page. But it seems unlikely that I and the other affected visitors all have this virus on our routers, and it’s not affecting any other sites we visit.
    I have Wordfence (free version) installed on my site, and its scans are coming up clean. WordPress and all my themes and plug-ins are up-to-date. I am running Safari 10.0.1 on MacOs 10.12.1 with a Virgin Media router, but the other visitors of course are using different systems.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
