I just figured out how to look at the WP stats of ANY website using webposition ****'s old traffic analyzer!

It's completly unsecure!!

I will post how to do it ONLY if it's OK with the moderators, since this is a pretty scandelous type of thing....Anyone using that old WP traffic Analyzer right now has their stats open to the public.

I've been doing some insane research on what kind of traffic my competitors are getting (as long as they use the old WP **** Traffic Analyzer, it doesn't work with the new one.)


I feel like such a hacker!!

Hello SubmissoR,

As moderator of this forum I will have to defer to the forums owner on this one. I would like to give you the OK but until Doug responds one way or the other, please refrain from posting the info you have.

Thanks,

No problem, of course!! Anyone can figure out how to do it really...

This is huge!! I have looked at a bunch of sites already, it shows all the different sites being tracked by the same WP account or SEO....

This leaves a LOT in the open that most SEO's wouldn't want anyone seeing....

Yes. I have found that the old one is insecure in ways as well. No need to post anything. You should send WP an email explaining everything and suggest they send out an email to the owners who use the stats program.

Sites should quit using it. If they do not know about this, this is truly the fault of WP.
