Is it just me... or have 'bots' gotten smarter?
 
*Cue the Terminator music*

But seriously... what's up with these bots on the web today? Tons of forum communities I frequent are being attacked by em' on a daily basis. And these forums are the ones that have it set where to Register you have to fill in the correct randomized numbers and letters.

Did the bots get smarter, and can now do this themselves? Or the programmers really, but still! ... is there a way to stop this on vB at least? There is just so much talk of viagra, home insurance, loans, and misc stuff that people can take! :)

Upgrade to the latest vb seems to stop them.

3.6.4? I'm running that, lol.

lol

Try checking all Image Verification Options. :)

When I'm running VB2, these bots are frequent to my board also.
Upgrading seems blocked them.
