  Any client side tracking solution is vulnerable or exposed is a better word to this. It's difficult for me to say it's a security issue because really by design everything about a javascript based tracker is public and really even server side trackers are not immune if someone decided to inflate your numbers or mess with referring traffic information it's all based on what the client sends you. I think in this case google maybe able to add some sort of machine learning to indicate in the result sets that certain links/visitors appear to be either bots or explicit spammers. Perhaps someone could even create a third party tool to do the analysis against a GA account using https://github.com/twitter/AnomalyDetection https://github.com/twitter/AnomalyDetection
