While we wait for the issue to resolve, things you can do to ensure your devices are safe.
-Run an anti-virus/anti-malware program to ensure your devices are not infected or compromised (by this or any other site)
-Install an ad blocking add-on for your browser. Your computers safety is more important than a few pennies. If you can't visit the site due to a virus, it can't help us at all.
-Stole this from posh a while back regarding the ads and I edited a little:

For mobile devices, specifically apple mobile devices, you can restrict the App Store pretty easily and its convenient if you don't use the store a lot. You'll just have to remember to unrestrict it when you actually want to use it. You can do this through parental controls (Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable > Safari).
There's also the option of putting on guided access mode. What this does is it locks you into one app (in this case, Safari or whatever browser you use) and will prevent that app from closing without your consent. This will also work in other apps that sometimes try to prompt you into opening other apps. (YouTube, games etc.) You can enable this by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access.
If you don't use Safari for anything outside of ATRL then turning off JavaScript would work too, and probably be less annoying. You can disable it by going to Settings > Safari and turning JavaScript off. Of course, if you use other sites that you know use JS than this is the worst and least practical option.
