My wordpress site is redirecting to a dodgy spam site on mobiles (possibly just iphone)

How do I stop this? How do I temporarily take the site down?

Hi there,
I completely understand how frustrating this is. I’ve tagged WordPress.com staff to help you with this issue. In the meantime, may I recommend taking a look at this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/potential-wordads-dangerous-redirect/
Details such as a screenshot of the advert would almost certainly be appreciated, along with the full URL of the redirect, if you’re able to provide them.
In regards of taking down your site temporarily, those this issue won’t affect all your readers, the closest you can do is set it to private. https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Let us know if you have any further questions or issues. :)

Thank you.
It seems to have rectified itself now, but the url it redirects to is: 2364578.com
I can’t figure out how to attach a screenshot here. -
I’m having the same issue. I posted a screenshot in my post on the forums.

Hi there,
Please reply here with all the information I asked @boneorchards for on the thread they linked above. The more info we can get on this, the better our chances of tracking down the advertiser and getting them blocked.
