If you think a site is temporarily under control of someone other than its usual trusted maintainers ('hijacked'), please don't promote more visits to the site with a link.
The site should be visited less, not more, until the question is resolved -- if your theory is true, the 'hijackers' may have both malicious intent and unpatched browser-linked flaws to exploit against visitors.

Yea, also if you come across a traffic-accident then don't stop and watch.
Wonder why that kind of advice never works, not even when printed in italics...
Properly understood, the advice against visiting hijacked sites is more like, "don't stare into a solar eclipse".
