It’s related to FaceTime. According to this article they’ve already implemented a temporary fix by deactivating Group Facetime, which contains the bug. The easiest fix is to turn off the Facetime app.

I was thinking about pinching a loaf and ads for Preparation H and Charmin popped up. Things are getting scary.
