Block a 3rd party domain from sending hits

[EceA]

A random company copied our website frontend (run on AEM) in a very amateur way and also somehow managed to copy the analytics tracker in the process.We are receiving their website data, which is spoiling the data for us. How do we block them from sending data?

First off, if they copied your website and content you should go after their webhost with a copyright infringement, this could also be an attempt at phishing your users and could hurt your brand trust....  I actually love when people are this dumb, since it's easier to find and shut them down. This is probably the best option for your organization....

Now if you are determined to just stop this from an analytics perspective, depending on your implementation, if you are using Launch, you could go through and add a condition to all of your rules to not run when coming from that domain (you could also have a condition to only work from your own domains, but then you might lose the ability to catch future attempts to steal your companies content).

If you don't want to change all your rules, you could also write some custom code that runs in Do Plugins (custom code of your AA extension) to abort all calls coming from this fraudulent domain.. this would be faster than updating all your rules, but does require more coding skills. I can help with this code if this is what you want to pursue, let me know.

Fully agree with @Jennifer_Dungan. If they also include you'd Launch instance, block them from there.

maybe you could also add a nice info on the page through a custom code

if(!document.location.hostname.includes("yourdomain.com") {
    alert("Warning, this is a SCAM page")
}

maybe that keeps them from integrating your Launch property and solve your Analytics issue.

if URL filters are properly set, the scam domain traffic should be filed under Page "Other, but this will not block traffic from coming in

Hahah yeah, this would be awesome... but it might make them more careful in the future....
