Widget vk.com installs a counter from mail.ru on the site without asking
Today, an unexpected error was found on one of our sites in the developer console:
This counter from mail.ru is trying to send statistics. The problem is that we did not explicitly connect this counter anywhere and were not going to connect it. In our code, no mention of the address top-fwz1.mail.ru or its variations was found. This means that some other connected script loads the counter without our knowledge.
')
The answer to this riddle is simple: the community widget from vk.com now, out of corporate solidarity, helps statistics from the mail-list to be more representative.
Keep in mind.
