 When I paste an amazon product URL (Either with affiliate id or without),
 WordPress by default is embediing the product on page(which is good) but
 also ading affiliate id its URL (Which is horrible).

 I found this when I read this news on theDIgitalHacker(URL Given Below). I
 was finally relaxed when I got to know that my website is actually not
 hacked which I was preassuing when I saw this issue for the first time.

 This website has covered the issue in details with proofs
