Glory Hole Foundation was a bait and switch shock site which disguised itself as a nonprofit golf and country club community. The site even had a YouTube[1] and Twitter[2] account to further disguise itself as a trustworthy entity.
The website had a white background displaying the Glory Hole Foundation logo above a green "Enter Website" button. Once the button was clicked, the site displayed a short GIF of two men having anal sex, accompanied by the very loud audio of a man moaning. A malicious script in the source code of the site opened two window tabs which bounced around the screen, displaying the same GIF shown on the main page. The viewer could leave the site by using Task Manager to exit the browser.
Origin
The website was created in early 2015 and was an invention of Prank Call Nation. It was notably used in prank calls; the point of the site was to mislead the victim into believing Glory Hole Foundation was a legitimate not-for-profit organisation. Users on 4chan eventually discovered the website, and began using it in bait and switch pranks on Twitch streamers, similar to Onche.fr.
Glory Hole Foundation also had a sister website called "Desk Corporate IT", which was used to target people interested in technology. This mirror would display the same content as its original.
