Security Alert — Beware of Malicious Links in GA4, Search Console, and Other Services

Recently, a type of malicious attack method has emerged, which uses the Referer header in HTTP to spread harmful URLs. Because the Referer header is collected by website traffic monitoring services like GA4, Search Console, and Webmaster, attackers exploit it to create popular links. This tactic is aimed at sparking curiosity in data analysts who might then click on these malicious URLs, potentially leading to security issues (such as malicious programs being injected through browser vulnerabilities)!

Please stay vigilant and avoid clicking on unfamiliar links!
