JQuery hacked
api.jquery.comWhy do people do this rather than linking to a screenshot or something? By the time it comes up in my RSS news reader, it is almost always not in the same condition as when the link was posted.
Why does this go to a documentation page? Anyway this was already discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8359223
I don't think this is the same event as mentioned in that post (and in fact, the post has since been updated) as pointed out by ambiate [1] (below). The original discussion was related to a compromise supposedly detected by RiskIQ. This is something else entirely. To quote the link in that article:
"Update via Twitter: We have detected a new compromise of jquery.com and are taking action to mitigate the attack. Updates to follow. – September 24, 2014 at 12:20PM EDT"
What exactly are we looking for? Only see a few failed to load JavaScript assets, and those could be from my Hotel wireless injecting their Ads.

and
The page was temporarily replaced with a plain-text message explicitly stating they were hacked and that the hacker was looking for a job. The page has since been reverted.
Do you have a screenshot by chance?
Afraid not.
Hotel wireless connections are sometimes considered harmful. Use a VPN connection of your choice (i.e. your employer, a trustworthy provider or else).
