I’m leaning towards it being part of the website. The video doesn’t seem to play very often, but every time the page loads, there is a script tag from “vindicosuite.com″ at the bottom, which contains links to specificmedia.com. Both of these domains are related to video advertisement.
To see the tag, I load the page in Chrome, rightclick->Inspect Element, and scroll to the bottom of the HTML view.
I see this both under Firefox on my laptop and Chrome on my office computer, it seems unlikely that they would both have the same malware at the same time.
I am also suspicious because the vindicosuite code is very clearly appended to the end of the page, just stuck onto the end. It’s not integrated with the page in any way.
YO, ADMINS!! Are you quite sure lesswrong.com hasn’t been pwned?

Um. That doesn’t look nice.
