Dear WAA Members and Friends:

A few days ago we discovered an unusual and unexpected issue with the WAA site and it requires us to suspend the Web Analytics Championship until it's resolved.

When a user requests a new password, their email is passed through the URL and, therefore, it appears on content reports on web analytics (WA) tools. As soon as this issue was brought to our attention we closed access to the WA tools, determined the scope of the data access, and immediately started working on a solution to solve the issue. We treat member privacy very seriously, and because the email address could be linked to a visitor session we wanted to pro-actively inform the community of what happened. This message therefore, is for information, and no action is necessary on your part.

Unfortunately, will have to postpone the Championship for a few weeks until the issue is fully resolved.

We deeply regret any inconvenience caused to our members and participants in the Championship. We want you to know that we are taking all measures so that this never happens again.

Please contact the or call + 1 (800) 349-1010 with any questions.

Thank you.

Alex Langshur
President, WAA

Any progress? If it was only one of the vendors, can you just omit them?
