Viewing post in Sitelock Update

I noted a weird link in my analytics, as source of traffic.
It started with itch.io/embed-hotlink/ and then a bunch of numbers.

Clicking it, I saw someone tried to steal/hotlink my "game" (which wasn't even really worth stealing.)
But I can not see which site tried to hotlink my game.
Is there a way I can find this out?

If you see that link in your referrers then that means that our sitelock has redirect users from a site that tried to steal your game to your itch.io page.

We don’t record analytics for where the embeds are coming from, so we’re unable to tell you where the site was being embedded. Sorry

Oh bummer. Might be a great option if that is possible in the future.
Knowing someone tries to hijack your game is good, but knowing who it is would be even better.

Thanks for your reply anyway.
