Google Tag Manager security breach? - google-tag-manager

Anyone else experiencing problems with google tag manager?
Our work account has deleted container-permissions without a user defined doing it. We heard some other accounts also have problems? Anyone who knows whats going on? No email accounts have been compromised.

if your container is still working - back it up ASAP! There is not guarantee that Google will be able to restore it, Nobody knows why this is happening as of now

It has been acknowledged. There are problems rising everywhere.
Google Forums
Latest news about the bug, google says everything will be restored
Tracking starts working again, only problem left is access to the containers using the User Interface, Google is working on it.
UI Back ! Everything working again, my changes of the last day are gone.

not a robot recapcha loop at wordpress login

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the following issue I am trying to figure out.
On the wordpress backend login a not a robot recapcha appears with the following text: This page is an extra security measure for websites which use WordPress or Joomla!. Before you can log in, you have confirm that you are a human being. You can do this by confirming the reCAPTCHA above.
With the button confirm under it. Passing the recapcha is not a problem, yet when you press on confirm it just refreshes the page and you have to pass the recapcha again and so on in a neverending loop.
I checked everything on the website level. turned off all caching, extensions, made sure all is updated. reinstalled the wordpress version. I checked on multiple browsers, cleaned the history, tried in safe mode and incognito mode. I also asked others to check on their laptop if they see the same thing and they did. Yet nothing solves this problem. Checked the error and access log, nothing out of the ordinary there too.
But.. on smartphones/tablets you can get to the username/password screen without recapcha looping. I did send a mail to google but the response time is not that fast, so it seems.
So I thought maybe someone here has some experience with this problem or knows where the solution needs to be found. Any help in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
I fail to understand why this happens to be honest. Thank you in advance.

Charboost unable to set campaign priorities in admin portal

Recently I was trying to add and configure campaign and its priorities in Charboost admin portal. I created static and video interstitials and navigated to campaign priorities section, As expected, both static and video interstitials showed up. But if I select low to static and high to video placements, after screen reload, both placement priority automatically reset to highest.
It was working fine a month ago..
But recently I saw this bug in all browsers. ..
I just got reply from Chartboost support. They are saying that they fixed this issue.
mail from cb support
Good to hear from you again. Are you still seeing this today? Our
engineers had solved a similar problem yesterday (not exactly what
you're describing), though I'm wondering if you could've possibly been
affected by this.
Are you familiar with the chrome console? If so, could you please open
up the chrome console and click the network tab? With this open, go
ahead and try making the change (make sure to click save), and the
network tab will record the calls that are made or attempted to be
made. A screenshot of this would be incredibly helpful.
I look forward to hearing from you and getting this resolved. Thanks
for the follow-up, and take care.

Wordpress not reflecting phpMyAdmin database changes unless I log in

this is I think a really unusual case. A little backstory, I outsourced a PSD to WP project a few months ago, but not currently working with the developer anymore as he stopped replying to my support questions. I'm trying to solve this on my own before I give this to the client, as I have no more budget to hire another developer.
I have two problems, first is I couldn't access the WP dashboard even though my login is an admin account. Been trying to solve this through numerous google searches and blog posts but to no avail, I couldn't fix it.
Here goes my main problem: So I finally found a way how to update the content on the site using the phpMyAdmin backend database. (good thing I know HTML CSS)
I managed to update the content, but when I tested the site using incognito window and other profiles / browsers, the changes from phpMyAdmin does not reflect on the site. I tried logging in, and weirdly, the changes are there. I log out, changes are there.
I just find it really weird and a hassle that I have to log in to see those changes. It's a client facing site, and the changes are really important so I hope someone has experienced this before and can help me out. Thanks in advance.

How is Google Analytics providing data for my site without the JS code?

I signed up for Google Analytics a couple months ago, but have yet to actually set up the JS snippet on my site.
Today I logged into the dashboard and I see tons of tracking data already in there.
I'm trying to figure out how Google is gathering user data on my site when I haven't even hooked up the code yet.
Also, I see a handful of hits to completely random paths on my domain (mostly foreign). Stuff like www.mysite.com/www.somepornsite.com and I'm just curious why a bot would even bother trying to hit a full domain as a subpath. Or even why my site's getting hit at all (it's completely behind HTTPAuth at the moment), but I suppose that's inevitable.
Thanks for any insight.
I had the same problem a couple of months ago, it turned oud that a bot got my script and did malicious things with it. I got my self a new Analytics code and it did the trick for me.
This will probably also work for you although it it weird that they got your script without even having it published yet.

occasional client error fullcalendar.js

I am trying to help sort a friend's issue with their fullcalendar.js implementation.
The problem thus far is the events not loading consistently. Before uploading it to the Godaddy domain it worked every time but is spotty at best now. I looked at the Google developers tools and the credentials are all squared but saw that there is a client error happening however, I'm not sure where to look to fix an occasional problem? I am led to believe it is some sort of server issue but don't know where to start looking.
I don't have any rep so no pics, here is a link to the dashboard.

Any help would be amazing, thanks!
Edit:
I contacted Godaddy to no avail, they said it was Google's issue and I should contact them.. which isn't possible without paying for it.. Also, I found a work around: if I refresh the page navigate away and return it loads correctly.. any ideas on how to code it so if it fails to load I can get the same process?
Hopefully this will help someone else, but...
I fixed my problem by changing the hierarchy of my files. I moved the calendar to the public html folder instead of the nested html folder. It seems as if the Jquery request to Google was getting interrupted or bogged down somehow, but, thus far I'm digging the 100% success rate. If anyone cares to weigh-in further, I'm happy to hear other suggestions.
