Just got a mail from a friend who says when he click on the link in the subscription email on his iphone he ends up in appstore and gets recommended to download candy crush saga. and when i click on the link on my iphone the same thing happens to me.
what to do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Same thing happens in most of my posts on rymdfilm.wordpress.com when I click the posts. Only on iOS.
Browser gets redirected to http://adtrack.king.com/modules/adTracking/adClicked.jsp?type=ad&st1=hitfox&st2=candycrushsaga&st3=DK&st4=&st5=aff_lsr&st6=1023502e10db232ec33748de7ec51d&link=http://smarturl.it/candycrushsaga which opens App Store.I’ve checked contents of posts and no code there.
This feels like WordPress has been hacked.

My friend has the same problem on my blog on his iPhone so it’s not my phone specifically
Also checked my other blog Tornberg.wordpress.com and same there -
This is the other part of the redirect, which flashes by pretty fast http://adtrack.king.com/modules/adTracking/adClicked.jsp?type=ad&st1=hitfox&st2=candycrushsaga&st3=DK&st4=&st5=aff_lsr&st6=1023502e10db232ec33748de7ec51d&link=http://smarturl.it/candycrushsaga

This has happened to my blog as well, the problem started some time on saturday the 20th.
It happens only when one clicks on links to my site posted on Facebook, but it happens both on Android and IOS devices.
I have tried to reset my Iphone, delete all apps (WordPress, Facebook etc) and reinstall, as well as changing all passwords, delete browser history in Safari, but nothing helps unless I block pop ups (and then blocking the actual link at the same time…)
Very eager to see a solution to this.

It’s about a week that, when I and other friends open my posts from the mail received (using the link in the mail), we are redirected to an unknown site about soccer (http://www.smartmagazine.it/web/it_CAT/flows/924/it_icontentviabosflow_msisdnentry?p_p_id=webflow_WAR_wwfsplashTool&p_p_state=normal&gp_webflows.execution=G7wm2N3uK6C7hD3zb1cr1W0H8I2J0E7xy3R5P5K8V0do7N3I4wK3M6O7S2U3xl4N4E2B7iG3B8T4A4rOIT&p_p_lifecycle=0)
I am, obviously, loosing lot of readers.
What can we do?
Thank you for your attention, Patrizia (http://pattibum.wordpress.com) -

We are having the same issue! When clicking on a post from WordPress in Facebook you get redirected to download Candy Crush! It’s quite annoying …
Please solve this asap!

I have the same problem.
A search on the internet will give tons of reports on adtrack.king.kom and Candy Crush, so a lot of sites and an awful lot of people are having this problem.
Hope you get to the bottom of it!

No, one of our ad networks had a glitch in their code. The ads were essentially being automatically clicked on page load for mobile viewers.
We have shut down that ad network for now.
