The images are embedded with a URL called "Go to Snapfroot.com" that takes people to AllRecipes.com for smoothie recipes, but the hack is relatively harmless.

This is happening almost two months after 4.6 million usernames and passwords were leaked. A similar hack occured over the summer with Instagram, with people posting spammy images of smoothies.
