Hotjar hacked, could effect other analytics tools
Hey, I know many of us are using Hotjar, especially for CPC optimization. Came across some interesting research on a security issue that could impact the tool (and other). It turns out a security common vulnerability can be combined with a popular login method (OAuth) to compromise user accounts on analytics tools like Hotjar.
This is a good reminder that even established tools can have security gaps. While the specific vulnerabilities are fixed, it highlights how important staying informed about security research is, even for SEOs, so you don't cause damage to your companies\clients.
The full report is pretty technical, but there's also a free tool to assess your website's risk
