And once again: adblockers

And if those people had used adblockers then I doubt anything would have happened.

I've mentioned this recently, I'll do it again: adblockers should be placed at the same level as anti virus software. You may trust a website (or its owner), but you cannot know up front where the ads are coming from, as well as any associated extra garbage such as these mining scripts.
