--- type: Article title: Dollars JavaScript Code – Yet Another JavaScript Obfuscation Method for CC Frauds description: Deobfuscates a symbols-only JavaScript payload found injected into Italian sites, stepping through it with alert() calls and a textarea to recover the Function() body. The recovered code rewrites every link on the page for a random one in five first-time visitors, funnelling them to a fake download site ending at a credit-card fraud checkout. resource: "https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html" tags: [article, webseclist-reference, extraexploit-blogspot-com, javascript, encoding, case-study, cookie, dom, owasp-a07-2021] generated: by: webseclist-refs/1 at: "2026-08-10T15:09:47+00:00" status: stable stale_after: 2027-08-10 sources: - id: original resource: "https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html" title: Dollars JavaScript Code – Yet Another JavaScript Obfuscation Method for CC Frauds - id: capture resource: "https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html" also_at: [] authors: [] canonical_url: "" cited_by: - "2010.md:49" commit: "" content_sha256: 02533294da6d0c599a7d68bf8791af74e9c464994b44e2cd1775a7136655aa6c depth: full depth_reason: default kind: article language: "" licence: unknown original_url: "https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html" published: "" publisher: extraexploit.blogspot.com publisher_english: "" raw_sha256: b387f27a74114141a908cdf264c63a137679d09c37ef089d219d487cdabc4659 retrieved_from: "https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html" retrieved_kind: live retrieved_utc: "2026-08-10T15:09:47+00:00" slug: extraexploit-blogspot-com-dollars-javascript-code-yet-another-javascript-frauds snapshot: 20101009193511 title_english: "" translation_file: "" translation_of: "" --- # Dollars JavaScript Code – Yet Another JavaScript Obfuscation Method for CC Frauds **Dollars JavaScript Code – Yet Another JavaScript Obfuscation Method for CC Frauds** - Author not stated, extraexploit.blogspot.com. - Published: date not stated - Original: - Preserved from: https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2010/10/dollars-javascript-code-yet-another.html (live) on 2026-08-10 - Capture timestamp: 20101009193511 - Licence: unknown Rights remain with the original author and publisher.

From MDL forum, I get a post where a user (many thanks to Edgar) has been reported a strange Javascript code injected in some Italian web site. Specifically the message is located at the following URL: [http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/forums/index.php?topic=4354.0](https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/forums/index.php?topic=4354.0) The code that is reported looks like shown in the following screenshot: | [![dollarscode001](https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511im_/http://lh5.ggpht.com/_uioOPkGBTsE/TKuzaGchYDI/AAAAAAAAA3A/uE3eKBGtndM/dollarscode001_thumb%5B15%5D.png?imgmax=800)](https://web.archive.org/web/20101009193511/http://lh5.ggpht.com/_uioOPkGBTsE/TKuzXWxY5II/AAAAAAAAA24/Xlnk21q8oeU/s1600-h/dollarscode001%5B19%5D.png) | | At first lookup appears like a nonsense code for who is not a Javascript guru like me.
