What kind of attack is this?

And what effect will it have on our rankings?

When I do a search for "Our little birdies fly out to every corner of the web" which is the opening sentence of our homepage, I get thousands of results all linking to some weird spammy sites that all redirect to some casino top 5 page.

Yo - just ran your domain through ahrefs and whilst they've stolen your content there doesn't seem to be a surge of inbound links... nor does the spammy page seem to link to you either.

Plus if you look at the cache of any of those pages it looks like they might have just pulled content from all over the place (unless that is all your content I didn't check). Tried to upload image of the cache here but can't for some reason. Anyway just look at them for yourself and you'll see.

If the above is the case then I wouldn't be worried about it in the slightest. I'd monitor my inbound links closely though to see if things did change at all and I would make sure nothing starts redirecting to me but unless that happens you're like cool

Yeah I see - I wasn't able to look at the cache's from a lot of the pages before but I've seen what you're referring to, just really bad content scraping.

I hope you're right about it not having an effect!

Sadly, there isn't any decent anti-scraping software out there.
