Re they getting around Image Validation only, or are they getting around reCaptcha too?

Turn on human verification with Question/Answer and put in a simple question like "what's 2 plus 3". Make sure to spell it out instead of using symbols just in case it looks for that.

Where do you modify the questions/answers at specifically?

Most of my spam comes from China, Russia, and Pakistan. Alot from Pakistan. So these countries are banned. I have found that this does not hurt my new registrations in the least. I also do not allow gmail as most of my spammers use gmail accounts. This has helped ALOT as well. Every once in a while I get someone pissed because they can't register using Gmail but we take care of this by registering them manually once we've checked out their registration. You also want to censor the following because they hit many forums hard. In one day we had over a hundred spammers for addition recovery. Little did they know two can play at this game. A-holes! LOL

I've been nailed today on two of my vb installations, including on a board that has never had a spam bot post before.

I made a post in another forum:

Same issue here.
Plenty of new spam, but practically none before today.

We have had none until yesterday. They say "Man" in the Bio and "Test" in the user name.

These two IP addresses are almost always attached to them:

142.163.3.122 - bad search bot?

200.63.42.75 - Hacker?

I know of a few boards that had this and then a attack on the Site Admin password/log-in and the sites were hacked.

There is something going on. We all need to find help for this.
