Sqword is a word game where you make as many words as possible in a 5x5 grid and the longer the word, the more points you get. it was created by Josh C. Simmons and friends and is freely available on sqword.com. However, the game has been picked up by several browser game portals, who have obtained the game without permission and are profiting from it by placing it behind their own ads.

As reported by 404, Simmons learned that Sqword was being monetized by sites that were simply embedding it in iFrame and decided to do something about it. "The mature and responsible thing to do would have been to add a content security policy to the page." Since I am not mature, what I decided to do instead was to render an image Goatse of an early 2000s Internet shock with a nice message superimposed on it instead of the app, if Sqword detected it was in an iFrame." [It has been used to shock and troll Internet users since it was uploaded to the domain Goatse.cx in 1999. Simmons added the text "I steal other people's code because I'm a total hacker" to the version that appears on the site where he stole his game.

"It has been one of my greatest achievements as a dev," he went on, "to live-deploy a massive goatse image to at least 8 domains that aren't mine." Simmons concluded with a warning. He said, "If you use an iFrame to display a site that is not yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over its content. One day, instead of viewing iFrame, you may find yourself viewing an entirely different kind of portal.
