    Really? I opened the site in mobile before sharing so I didn’t see anything like that. Wonder if the site is compromised or something. Very odd user behavior

      Wonder if the site is compromised or something.

      that’s not it, they were documents relating to that text, the same that were also embedded inside of the article - see https://i.imgur.com/OABLReO.png

      but i have never seen such behaviour where webpage would trigger the file download on its own without clicking on anything.

      now combined with the fact that i had the browser set to automatically open pdf without asking and the fact the pdf can definitely contain malicious code, needless to say i was surprised.
