Stolen website code - is this common?

[AISFM]

I checked my google analytics stats under network - hostname and found another website showing up for some of the traffic.

When i looked at that site's code it started with

[dfphotographer.com]

I had this happen (sort of) and asked the company to remove the code. I got no response so I just got a new one for myself and kept the old data for reference.

Send their host a DMCA Takedown if your site is a copyright holder. Secondly, to sanitize your GA data from this point forward by creating a separate profile and excluding traffic from the infringing domain. You do this via GA Admin>.JS Tracking Info > Referral Exclusion List.

Honestly speaking this happens a lot as this is one of the cheapest way to get your website ready!

-          Email them and ask them to at least remove your GA code from the headers so that you can stay in peace. Most of the times, people give a damn so give it a try and see what happens.

-          DMCA takedown notice to their host server! This should be the right way but not sure how much time will it take.

-          Get the New GA code and move on! Quick and easy way out.

Hope this helps!
