Google Analytics spam is nothing new. But now spammers have realized that, since language appears in the initial Google Analytics dashboard view, spoofing the language code reaches eyeballs.

I logged into GA today to find a new language setting: "Secret.ɢoogle.com You are invited! Enter only with this ticket URL. Copy it. Vote for Trump!" I don't think that's a language.

Log into Google Analytics and navigate to Admin > Filters. Be sure to select the appropriate View first (if you use multiple Views). Then, click Add Filter.
