Security Hijack Concerns
FYI to those that need to know: I believe AcuraZine has some sort of malware or is hijacked in some form. This is not the first time I’ve seen this and recall reading something similar about this a while ago. The security issue still exists.
I was on my cell, Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android), early this morning. Decided to see what’s new on AcuraZine and instantly got a really bad pop-up/redirect/or whatever you call it from lamorpon.info saying if I don’t click here my phone will basically be disabled! Did I click “here”? NOT!! Google lamorpon.info virus and you’ll see it’s a real thing.
Next, I logged on to my regular desktop computer. Went to AcuraZine and within two minutes, bam, my security software pops up and shuts down AcuraZine saying it blocked a potentially malicious website.
If you dare, the IP it blocked was 93.95.228.131 >>VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!<< My security software blocked it.
Needless to say it scared the living crap out of me! Like most, if I lose my phone and/or computer due to some hijacked website I’ll be in a really bad place.
Someone at AcuraZine should look into this.

it's another form of spam, or a pop-up.
it did it's trick in alarming you.
unfortunately, the Android platform allows these types of pop-ups.
iPhones are not immune either.
Sorry this happened to you.
