A few things I have found by experimenting. It disappears if you enable an ad blocking app which confirms it is coming from a compromised advert.

Secondly, and I have no idea why, it only appears when I view FT using cellular data (Vodafone in my case), and never when I am using wifi. This isn't country specific as write this from Germany where it has been appearing too when connected to 4G.
Also a UK user who's seen too much of the Game of War ad on UK 3G (also Vodafone) - but I also had it this week in Turkey, again on 3G.
