There was a warning about this several months ago, but it got blown off by a lot of people. Seems that warning should have been heeded. This started off as an FBI hack to get real IP's and MAC addresses of perverts that visited child porn sites, this article seems to justify that, at least in part.

Reading the comments and doing my own research, it seems some of the domains affected in the "multi-domains" are proxied through CloudFare???
Still, it seems this all started when the feebs injected the code into certain domains and some others grabbed it and used it for their own nefarious purposes. If I'm reading that right, any how. Brian |
