When visiting a site running Web-Stat less than 1.4.1, the "wts_web_stat_load_init" function used the visitor’s browser to send an XMLHttpRequest request to https://wts2.one/ajax.htm?actionequal tolookup_WP_account. Issue was partially fixed in 1.4.0, (logged in users still able to see the key) and fully fixed in 1.4.1.
