A significant number of users have reported an influx of referral spam coming specifically from a domain in Poland. This post aims to shed light on this situation and provide some actionable advice for those affected.<\/h4><p>Several webmasters have noticed a pattern: fake user traffic from Poland, specifically from news.grets.store, appearing in their GA4 real-time reports. This traffic occurs in a strangely regular pattern, roughly every 20 minutes.\u00a0<\/p><p>This issue has become a talking point in numerous online forums, suggesting it&#8217;s not an isolated case. While Google is known for its regular updates and fixes, this issue seems to persist, indicating a more complex problem than usual.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c6fe47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c6fe47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Marking it as an unwanted referral won&#8217;t filter out the spam. The only outcome is that it will no longer be classified as referral traffic. However, the events will still be recorded, so this isn&#8217;t an effective solution. Additionally, creating filters appears to be unhelpful because the IP addresses of the attackers are constantly changing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b61c08 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b61c08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This attack is specifically targeting Google Analytics and doesn&#8217;t actually affect individual websites directly, as server logs can confirm. The traffic data isn&#8217;t originating from server levels; it&#8217;s more likely coming directly from targeted Google IDs.<\/p><p><strong>Additionally, the use of varying domains and IPs, possibly spoofed, means traditional Analytics filters based on IP addresses are ineffective.<\/strong> It&#8217;s also worth noting that, as far as I know, GA4 lacks a country filter. As a result, only Google can effectively block or filter this kind of data injection.<\/p><p>Given Google&#8217;s history with Analytics security, it&#8217;s plausible that the attackers have developed methods to circumvent Google&#8217;s existing safeguards.<\/p><p>The responsibility to address this issue falls on Google. The impact of this attack, however, will vary: websites with a smaller volume of traffic might feel a more significant effect, especially if around 80 injected referrals represent a larger portion of their total traffic. Conversely, larger websites are likely to experience minimal impact.<\/p><p>Until Google implements measures to block this attack, direct intervention options are limited.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>We will promptly update this article with new information as soon as further details regarding the GA4 attack become available.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a06d32d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a06d32d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Good to know<\/strong><\/p><p>If you keep encountering spam or fake visits from Poland, it might be worthwhile to explore a dedicated real-time analytics tool.\u00a0<\/p><p>For instance,<a href=\"https:\/\/realtime.li\"> realtime.li<\/a> is engineered to immediately eliminate both bot and referral spam, guaranteeing more reliable and precise data (without data-smapling like GA4) for your analysis.
