it's not happening anymore. i wasn't seeing it using "links" browser. also looks like some javascript in mozilla hides the images in tools->page_info->media as they appear then disappear quickly, but not too fast enough not to be seen.
doesn't seem to be intentional because: 1) the ip is in israel (whois 62.0.5.136) 2) caching is supposed to make things faster. this is slowing down everything 3) also reported with verizon broadband (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/verizon-broadband-security-threat-or-just-abuse.-690596/) anyway it is currently stopped so either the hacker is subscribed here or globe/innove fixed it or (unlikely) my ubuntu desktop just needed an unwanted reboot.
