One of my past jobs, I was working for this national online newspaper.
We were using a widget that was loading html from a third party website that was providing us with adverts.
That website got hacked via a vulnerable jQuery plugin. They uploaded a shell then they changed the html we were provided with a script that would redirect the main page to a porn website.
It was really cool to investigate and help them to fix it.
