    I got this spam in my WP comments

    peeticrack@gmail.com /* <![CDATA[ */ (function(){try{var s,a,i,j,r,c,l=document.getElementById("__cf_email__");a=l.className;if(a){s='';r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16);for(j=2;a.length-j;j+=2){c=parseInt(a.substr(j,2),16)^r;s+=String.fromCharCode(c);}s=document.createTextNode(s);l.parentNode.replaceChild(s,l);}}catch(e){}})(); /* ]]> */
    PHP:
    It was placed in the email, there was no www and the comment look ok.

    What does this "code" do?

    It looks pretty pointless, is your WP patched to the latest version?

    It's a function used for email address obfuscation. Nothing dangerous.
    Patching your WP to the latest version is highly recommended anyway :)
