One semi-solution to that (which would have made the problem almost invisible to any webpage visitors) would be to only serve the script over HTTPS. Presumably the domain parking page was not using a cert that matched "cdn.qbaka.net", so a browser would fail to download anything due to a cert mismatch.

That was my original thought as well but since cdn.qbaka.net was just a cname to their real cdn it wouldn't have worked. Unless they gave their private ssl key to the cdn provider, which is really not recommended.
