Default Site Hijack?

While loading APC's website about an hour ago I noticed it was "talking" to a Russian language site. You can watch in the lower left hand corner as the ads, trackers, etc are being contacted. It was very slow and I was able to see it trying to contact a site with crillic letters.

It appears ok now, and I'm running a virus scan.

thx

We appreciate the report, N9373M. We need more data before we can act, however. Any destination URLs, code that you can grab, etc. would be useful. Thanks!

I use Firefox 19.0.2 with the Ad Block plugin, and it was slow. I looked at the sites being contacted (i.e. akami) as displayed in the lower left corner, saw the Cyrillic and immediately closed the browser. I came back an hour later and all was well. IF it happens again, I'll grab a screen shot before running away.

All is well, remain calm
