Do you have an explanation for that?
It could be using JavaScript to inject stuff into the DOM after the page is loaded. If you use the Web Inspector or Firebug you can see the source after it has been manipulated
I disabled JavaScript in the browser and still see the spam. It took a while until he believed me (I am just this Linux geek who does not use proper computers;-) because he cannot see it at all, and AFAIK no other user notified him. To be hacked is one thing - but that it targets Linux users only?? I tried Windows on a VM (so it has the same IP address) then I don't see it. I also tried it from two different locations and IP addresses (different providers too) under Linux - always see the rubbish when I am using Linux. Regards Peter
