I think the particularly interesting thing about this isn't the malware in question, but the vector they're using to distribute it. Almost every HTML page written in the last 5 years has jquery included somewhere, and so they're clearly trying to provide a redirection (or script-injection) vector which would pass a glance over the site code. If you run a website and have a breach it's worth being aware of during the code inspection you'd have to make.
