ZypMedia has been aquired

Open philipp-classen opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

According to https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/extendtv, Sinclair Broadcast acquired ZypMedia in 2021.

Thus, its entry is outdated: https://github.com/ghostery/trackerdb/blob/main/db/patterns/zypmedia.eno

This requires some research (e.g who owns the company now and what is a current website).

Hello @philipp-classen I did some research and found that ZypMedia Inc. is now part of Compulse Company. ( see https://rocketreach.co/zypmedia-inc-now-part-of-compulse-profile_b5f33526f42d3468)

Yes, looks like there is chain from ZypMedia to Sinclair Broadcast Group. And it ended as Compulse (part of Sinclair Broadcast Group)

That means, a candidate for the new website could be: https://sbgi.net/marketing-services/

Further questions are also under which domains Compulse is active. From what we could start to search for example pages that use it for analytics and define detection patterns.
