Lol… This is a new thing that will catch website owners pants down.
My guess is if they have a designer to do their coding stuff, that guy is eating where he shouldn’t.

This will be a new headache for big sites especially. I’ve just read that CBS Showtime also had the same script, probably installed by one of their many developers.
Media owners might need to learn some coding. Otherwise they’ll be ripped off by developers.
Don’t be surprised to hear CNN au Buzzfeed in the same boat soon.

showtime of all the sites had it

The SA Showmax?

Are you trying to say gecko was trying to burst nairobi wire akajianika?
