I was browsing through an article (the article about Sri Lanka, not that it matters) and I clicked on a word highlighted in blue. Instead of being sent to another article, a different Web page (possibly belonging to a racist website) appeared. I closed the page before I could read the URL and I deleted the browsing history, but I remember seeing JEWS written on the page, some sort of text below that, and a racist stereotype at the top left. I ran scans with Kaspersky Small Office Security (a free trial), Norton Power Eraser, and TDSSKiller, all of which found no threats.
So, if the redirect did not happen because of malware on my computer, how did this happen? Can anyone identify the website that I seem to be describing? This is REALLY weird and has never happened before or since.
