    Hi cantonbecker,

    I confirm this code injection issue and removed the entire script related to tracking feature. It was being handled by one of my partner developer who made this changes in tracking.

    I rectified that it was not a hacking attempt but was inserting links after you accept the TOC. I will make sure to check each lines of code before committing to wp.org in feature.

    Please update the plugin to latest version, if you still believe in my work. I am sorry for the confusions and lack of responsibility.

    But why insert cloaked links anyway?
    Seems sneaky and underhanded to me.

    Actually it was added for tracking few information like user’s Location, Browser and all. And also for adding a small credit text. But I think, then they made changes in their server to insert links instead of credit text.

    I will make sure this will not happen in feature. Sorry for the trouble.
