@Christopher Connor unfortunately no. Everything in a Google Analytics account can be manipulated. You can set it (dh) in your post to the MP server the document host name of whatever you feel like setting it to. See it here in the parameter reference list. Great question!! Your the 2nd person thats asked me that.

✨ AI Highlights
Rick Buffkin warns that Google Analytics' unauthenticated Measurement Protocol API allows anyone with a website's tracking ID to manipulate analytics data, meaning dealers may be making financial decisions based on potentially fraudulent traffic numbers—a vulnerability that experienced agencies could have exploited for years. While more knowledgeable users acknowledge this is a known issue that's difficult to prevent entirely, the thread emphasizes that dealers need to understand their analytics data deeply rather than blindly trust the numbers, comparing it to reading an X-ray without proper expertise.
