Malicious ad traffic aims to hurt our SEO - Please help

[Fisher]

Starting yesterday We are getting thousands of hits from porn sites and ad networks that my site has nothing to do with.

Our site has nice organic rankings and get a decent amount of traffic.
However, It seems that someone malicious (probably a competing site) started campaigns on low quality ad networks like PPV campaigns that popup my site on porn domains etc'. 

Questions:

1. The new malicious traffic is now about 60% of our total traffic - Can this hurt our SEO ranking and traffic in your opinion?
   
2. Any ideas on how we can stop this attack on our site?
   

I really hope someone here can help me because this is so easy to do and can happen to your site too.

Thanks!

Your site is most likly highjacked. It is using your url and server to send out spam.

This is pretty normal stuff. What is the url?

Ill look at it. You can also check your organic placement on google and see if the porn sites show up in your search engine results. google will most likley of flagged your site in the serps as being highjacked or having malicious  activity.

Thanks but my server is not hacked - it's only traffic from outside - ad networks that send me low quality traffic. Off site completely.

Any idea how can I prevent it?
