Is Writer Watch safe?
Writer Watch embeds a WordPress API authorization key and sends user and book IDs to writerwatch.com.
The popup bundle includes a hardcoded Authorization value for the Writer Watch WordPress API. When a user opens a watchlist item, it posts the user's Writer Watch hash and the book ASIN to writerwatch.com/wp-json/writer-watch/v1/auth-user before opening the account page.
