I had gotten it from someone else, but bypassed my better judgement in part thinking being on Linux with Firefox were solution enough, which interestingly they were not. Now, the page itself is pretty benign but it provided the spammers a way to attack webmail sites - e.g. Yahoo! - and go through the address book and sent out their own e-mails. My guess is that it had to be a hack into Firefox to support it, but one not yet patched at least by Kubuntu (my work laptop, which I do keep up to date).
