I was going to make the same comment and then I realized blurring it is pretty useless: that info is in the JS snippet for GA on that site (and yes the key is the same).


That's what I figured, but since the author still blurred it I figured it was still worth mentioning.


The technique from the dheera.com article won't work well in this case because the filter is applied non-uniformly as a targeted spot. It becomes much more difficult to generate pixelated patterns to compare against. The Gaussian blur does however enable the simpler use of deconvolution to reveal the obscured digits.
