  Hi, my friend tried to access my blog today and sent me a screenshot of a pop up ad saying that she’d won a macbook air. I asked two other people to check if they experienced the same thing – one of them (who has an iphone also saw the pop up and couldn’t access my blog, but the other (who doesn’t have an iphone) didn’t get the pop up. Is this a problem with iOS devices? Have I been hacked? Not sure if there’s anything I can do to fix it…

  My blog: http://www.lillilacquer.wordpress.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
