I'm experiencing a flood of referral spam from these same domains. Seems like thousands of other site owners are too.

When will Google respond and step in? Clearly the GA4 tag is being exploited and my blocking efforts have failed, plus new domains are popping up.

I started experiencing it yesterday. I thought I was getting more traffic for one of my sites, but it ended up being these bots.

This looks pretty recent up to last week and it's in the top list of trending issues. Curious, has something like this happened before?
