I was visiting some HI5 profiles and noticed that i am getting redirected to another users profile.
Checking out the page source code i found a small flash movie code in the comments. The commenter basically included a 1px remotely hosted flash movie in his comment. The movie (.swf file) contained flash scripting which redirects the visitor browser to another url (it was that persons profile in this case).
Here is the comment:
And the code which is causing the redirection:
If you notice any such activity in your profile pages please check the page source code for anything similar to the above highlighted code.
You can view the source by Right Click > View Source
By checking the code you can determine which comment is causing this. Though in most cases it should be the persons profile you are being redirected to.
Delete that comment. You can also think of blocking the user :P
