We don't use refferer matching to credit webmasters. We compare cookie
data with the hash data we store serverside....this also includes referrer
info from when the cookie was set.
That said....what u-bob mention did get me thinking....and I'll have to further
investigate to be sure we're not vulnerable for such type of an attack. I can't
say we're not at this point.......so THANKS u-bob for the insight...I hadn't
thought of this myself yet....
I will get back on this with an answer on how we think to tackle this problem
