Tag Archives: Google Analytics Counter Tracker

If you are looking to find out about vulnerabilities in Google Analytics Counter Tracker or another plugin you use or are looking to use, you won't find most of our data on our blog. Instead you should sign up for our service so that you get access to all of the data we have gathered, which is much more data than other sources out there will provide you. You can start using the service for free when you sign up now.

If you have a hacked website then trying to find vulnerabilities in the plugins you use is not the way to determine how the website has been backed, instead the evidence from the hack and the relevant logging should be scrutinized. Our hack cleanup service for WordPress websites includes doing that, as well as a lifetime subscription to this service.

If you are a paying customer of our service, you also have the ability to suggest/vote to have the plugin get a security review from us if it is in the Plugin Directory. You can also order a security review of the plugin done by us.
