It seems to load an iframe behind images with links domains in.
from reddit said:Warning, run this script at your own risk! I have no idea what it does, but considering how it's being used, I assume it's doing something nefarious.
Note the real jquery.min.js should be hosted on googleapis.com, not googieapis.com.Code:[URL]http://googieapis.com/jquery.min.js[/URL]
There's been a huge influx of this spam lately. I've reported something like a dozen spammers who create new accounts and new domain names to spam pages that look like images, but are actually HTML, loading this javascript in the background. Interestingly, these are posted to smaller subreddits like /r/food, /r/keto, /r/wow, /r/diablo3 etc, but somehow they're able to get enough upvotes within the first ten minutes to end up on /r/all/top. I have to assume they're being upvoted by bots.
gameboyx.com is just one of the half dozen domains they've registered to spam here, and you'll find some examples of posts that haven't been deleted yet. DO NOT CLICK ANY OF THESE LINKS WITHOUT NOSCRIPT, but if you want to observe the spam in its natural habitat, that's what it looks like.
