What would be interesting is to detect the IP so that whenever the owners access the site, they see it normally, but others see it with the dog images. And put their email so visitors contact them telling them of the "vandalism", but when they access it, the site looks normal.

#22Let's see how long it takes before the offender finds out about this. I'm all for changing the company's description text to tell the full story as well.
Maybe do it in Spanish(?) rather than English.

#25I would have used a more offensive image, but that's just me.
Think of the children.
Seriously. When I was younger I made a little social network thing for me and my schoolfriends. I didn't figure out how to properly deal with uploaded images (too much hassle), so I allowed you to simply hotlink a profile image. I hotlinked some funny picture at home, and...
At school it was pornography from the site owner intended to stop people hotlinking. I very quickly changed the image.

Can't do anything about the text. That's in the HTML which is on their server. I just have the JS file that controls the image loading.

But you can do stuff with the text! You can manipulate the DOM, yes? And your script displays it in the first place.

#28A little backstory: They stole my site (socketstudios.com) which showed up on my analytics as they for got to remove it. They also left the contolling javascript file on my server. I modified it to load images of dogs that have no idea what they are doing.
What's an active URL for your personal photo site?
It's not live yet.

#29Made me wonder what would happen if some rogue Google engineer decided to replace the CDN hosted jQuery on thousands of sites with script to auto-play a rick-roll.
I've always wondered what would happen if a rogue MS employee slipped carefully-hidden malware into Windows Update. They could cause havoc.
