The gigantic image: https://i.imgur.com/kN2rMhK.jpg (source: http://comcastsupport.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/imag... - URL manually edited to display largest possible size)

I paged through the JS curiously, and found the URL bnpsa.g.comcast.net/images/mydevicealert/browser/. I wondered what would happen if I hit that from my ISP in Australia. I was surprised: I got an NXDOMAIN back.

But I discovered that googling the above URL as a quoted string finds a bunch of copies of the JS scattered around the Internet. Might be useful.

So then I tried hitting bnp-service-alerts.gslb2.comcast.com/images/. This actually resolved, and Chrome hung at "Connecting...". After rechecking the URLs I noticed this one was referenced in the JS as HTTPS, so I added that, and promptly got 403 Forbidden.

Question to anyone on Comcast [edit: which has been answered]: does http://bnpsa.g.comcast.net/images/mydevicealert/browser/ resolve for you?
