IPhone Safari Browser Highjacked/Redirected

I have an iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 6.0.1 update.  As of the weekend when I attempt to browse to certain URLs using Safari, the page gets redirected to a different page.  I have Cleared my history, Cookies/Cache, turned JavaScript OFF, turned Airplane mode ON & OFF, Powered my phone ON/OFF, turned all background apps off but this still keeps occurring!!
On the weekend the phone did get used to visit an escort site as I was at a stag party so I am not sure if they embedded something but it should have been cleared with the Cache/Cookies/History??
The one URL that always redirects is www.americanmustacheinstitute.org.  It goes to either to:
http://brasiltrk.com/jva1/     OR
http://m.textdating.ca/index_adult.php?usrcty=1&keyword=IFRAII&info=USRCTY31839
I do not have this issue when I use my SkyFire browser app, it goes to the americanmustacheinstitute.org site without any problems.  The redirecting happens in my Safari & ReaddleDocs app.
Please help as I am not sure what could be causing this since Apple is supposed to be free of Virus' or other mailicous attacks but this seems like some sort of highjacking as it is redirecting certain URLs. There must be some vulnerbility in iOS 6 that is allowing this??

Is there anyone out there? Bueller? Bueller?
I will add some more notes about what is occuring.  When I try to log into my Apple Support account from my iPhone 4, the screen just returns back to the empty login screen again.  The same thing happens when i try to login to LinkedIn!! I logged into my Apple account from my home computer (just as i have now) & i found an extra email account listed in my account that does not belong to me!! This is pretty serious stuff! I almost feel like disabling my phone because I have not idea what other information is being stolen off my device!! I have obviously changed my passwords for those 2 accounts! This all seems to have occurred from browsing some site called backpage.com & going to a couple of escort sites from there as we were trying to find some entertainment for a stag.  Nothing very serious in terms of offensive sites as backpage is like Craigslist!
Another thing that I would also like to point out is that I was I was able to re-load or re-install an App that I had previously purchased but deleted off of my phone without ever having to enter in my AppleID password from the App Store - Purchased Apps section!! That to me just shows that there are definitely some vulnerabilites with iOS 6 that no one seems to want to admit!!
I am a software developer so I am very competent using computers and software and this is just very disturbing to know my information may be getting hacked!! On my PC i would be able to use a packet sniffer program to see the trafic on my device but i am not aware of any such tools for the iPhone.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

  • Upload using iPhone Safari browser

    Can the iPhone's Safari browser upload files? I'd like to use my company's web-based CMS tool for adding content, but the 'file browse' button is inactive (grayed out). Can't attach files in Gmail either... I was hoping this might be a 'feature' added in the iPhone 3.x release.

    No,you can not upload files with Safari Browser.But I heard a long time ago that iPhone hacker hachu developed a download plug-in for MobileSafari.Once installed and customized,it allows you to download data off the Internet and store it on your iPhone or iPod touch local disk in the /var/root/Downloads folder.You may get some help with this.

  • How do I get my iPhone safari browser to open oh the google search page

    I feel like such an idiot.  This is probably a silly question but don't know how to phrase it so I can search the community boards.  Anyway, when I first got my phone and opened safari, there were several options one of which was Google.  I've messed with my phone and that page has disappeared and I can't seem to find it agai. And want safari to open to the google search page.  Help please

    You can't set a home page on Safari on the iPhone. However, you can put a shortcut to the page you want on the Home Screen of your phone. Navigate to the page you want (i.e. the Google search page). Then, tap on the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. Select "Add to Home Screen". Then, instead of using the Safari Icon, you'll use the shortcut and it will always take you to the Google search page.
    Best of luck.

  • IPhone contact pictures disappear once i use safari browser

    Can anyone help with this problem... I assign pictures to my contacts. When I use my iPhone safari browser, or use any internet apps, the contact pictures disappear. What is going on? Thanks.

    ckent007,
    What version of the iPhone software are you using?
    Are you saving the contact pictures (by tapping done in the edit contact screen) before you go to the home screen and use another application?
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • IPhone Internet browser safari quits unexpectedly

    I have had a problem with my iPhone Safari browser suddenly "signing off" and reverting back to the icon screen while I am actively browsing. Has anyone else had this problem? This occurs whether or not I'm on EDGE or WIFI.

    The restore helped... for a while. Over time the crashes return.
    A search here and on Google shows these issues with the iPod (and Safari) crashing are very, very common. It is almost as if there is a memory leak or corrupt cache issue, which explains why rebooting helps clear up the issue.
    When I first got the phone, I was powering down daily too, which may have helped mitigate the issue a bit.
    My suggestion to all in the meantime is to power down your phone daily, just to clean things out on the startup. I have contacted Apple about the issue along with the presumably thousands of other people, so I am confident it will be fixed soon.

    No you can't delete Safari. Look in your folder or other pages.
