[arrl-odv:30670] ARRL serving malware - have you experienced?

I’ve raised this issue to Barry about a month ago. I’m still experiencing it. Particularly if you’re using a Mac or iOS device, you may get redirected to a site that says you have a virus or have been hacked, then install some software to get rid of it. This is a scam and that software may actually be malware. Has anyone else experienced this? Ria N2RJ
